We are a boutique law practice, by design.
Our firm focuses exclusively on two important legal areas: household employment and small business law related to owner/operator protection.
Our clients are high performers, often high-profile public-facing personalities, established industry leaders and company founders. We’ve earned a reputation for working with clients who present with this unique level of legal exposure. A dynamic understanding of the law related to potential targeting is central to our work. Standard, boilerplate language is often inadequate for our clients. We will always take as many additional steps as necessary to protect the employer.
“Exceptional circumstances demand equally exceptional attention to every aspect of domestic or administrative employment. Nothing can be assumed or taken for granted, considering the privileged position and proximity of domestic or administrative staff to the employer.”
We are licensed and stay up to date on employment laws in three jurisdictions: California, New York, and the District of Columbia. Many of these laws require strategic interpretation and application, as substantive changes can be the difference between being protected or operating illegally.
We are specialists in creating the most protective legal conditions for our clients. Employer / employee relationships benefit from clarity and documentation, with absolutely no room for misunderstanding.
