PELG attorneys counsel C-Suite executives and management teams, entrepreneurs and individuals on legal matters involving the relationship between employers and employees. Using the best employment practices available, we craft proactive employment contracts and establish management processes that reduce misunderstandings over the course of these important relationships. As a result, our clients often rely on our attorneys’ advice in connection with their daily employment decisions.
We also advise entrepreneurs and individuals with respect to corporate mergers & acquisitions. As companies are sold, we draft and negotiate employment and separation agreements to assist in the smooth transition of the seller’s roles within the purchasing organization’s leadership structure. Our employment practice also intersects with PELG’s securities practice in matters relating to the issuance of equity awards and the implementation of the appropriate equity plans.
