Legal Services for the Employee
Our employment law attorneys protect the interests of executives and professionals by drafting and negotiating employment agreements.
As employment lawyers, we advise, counsel and negotiate on behalf of our client, the employee, where the employment agreement often includes the potential for significant financial upside such as equity, bonuses and other incentives.
Litigation is an option if the case cannot be settled. As employment litigation attorneys, we represent clients in matters including the following:
- Discrimination
- Retaliation
- Harassment
- Wrongful termination
- Wage and hour disputes
- Breach of contract

Why WCN for Employment Law Matters

Right-sized. We are large enough to have the depth of expertise and knowledge, while small enough to be available, accessible and personal.
David Burgess defended me against a non-compete claim … I was impressed with David’s ability to assimilate complex technical information I provided, and use it to formulate legal arguments that demolished the plaintiff’s claims.
