We solve complex, high-stakes disputes for multinational corporations, investment firms, executives, and entrepreneurs.

Often parachuting into a matter at the 11th hour, we are engaged when exposure is imminent, missteps are irreversible, and odds appear impossible. Whether the stakes involve bet-the-company exposure or equity forfeiture, we are known to deliver convention-defying results at unprecedented speeds often reversing the momentum to our advantage. The results are a testament to the quality of our counsel.

Pre-suit settlements read like jury verdicts.

Three days before the closing of a $10M merger, we blocked a CEO’s attempt to use a “for-cause” termination to clawback a founding engineer’s vested equity ($233K) and inverted the clawback into a $1.14M settlement from the company.       

Against a $7B investment firm, we negotiated a $43,000 severance offer —for a “performance” termination—into a $141,000 exit package with 100% carry.           

Against the famed New York nightclub the Brooklyn Mirage, we turned a no-severance termination into a $45,000 settlement in 12 days.

Defense that deters.

In our view, a defense that does not deter is merely kicking the can down the road. We prioritize defensive maneuvers that not only resolve the current matter but warns against others offering clients not at temporary fix but lasting peace of mind.

Against a prominent staffing agency, we neutralized the agency’s $300K fee demand stripped the agency of a clear path to any account stated claim despite their recovery successes against other defendants.

In a 10-count California FEHA lawsuit seeking $100,000, we reduced the client’s exposure to $30,000 while the co-defendant funded the balance.*

In a vendor dispute, we turned an inbound demand to return a $50,000 fee into an inbound wire of $75,000 in exchange for mutual releases.
