Employment law covers a complex network of laws that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. I have significant experience in interpreting and construing state and Federal statutes and case law in areas such as employment discrimination,affirmative action, sexual harassment, employee benefits, whistleblower litigation, wrongful discharge, employment contracts, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Federal Employer's Liability Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and special laws governing municipal employment.

If you are negotiating an employment or separation agreement or believe you have been unjustly terminated or denied unemployment benefits, I can help.

My services include:

• Reviewing and negotiating employment, non-disclosure, and non-compete agreements, stock options and executive compensation agreements.
• Negotiating separation agreements.
• Representing employees who have been wrongfully terminated or denied earned commission or salary.
• Representing employees before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) concerning illegal discrimination of any kind.
• Negotiating disputes involving the Department of Employment and Training, including denial of benefits or denial of training.
• Drafting and negotiating consulting contracts, including clarification of performance standards and ownership rights to finished products.

I have represented both employer and employees in Employment Law cases, so I know how to help you protect your rights.
