Executive & Employment Litigation

Questions about compensation, fiduciary duties, restrictive covenants, and leadership transitions can quickly escalate into knotty litigation that can have an outsized impact on ongoing business operations.

Massey & Gail routinely represents companies and executives in employment and executive-related disputes in federal and state courts across the country. Where proprietary information or trade secrets are involved, such cases frequently proceed on accelerated schedules—including in expedited evidentiary proceedings for preliminary injunctive relief. Our lawyers know how to quickly investigate the circumstances, marshal the facts, and examine the law to focus on the issues that will matter most to the court and the parties involved.

Similarly, disputes over forced resignations and executive compensation (including severance payments, stock options, or bonuses) can take on heightened sensitivities because of their personal nature. Whether we represent the employer or the executive, we are adept at zealously and holistically representing our client’s interests in the short- and long-term.
