Breach of Contract and Unpaid Incentive Compensation

The firm frequently negotiates and litigates claims involving breach of contract and unpaid compensation on behalf of employees at all levels, including sales professionals and senior executives. We have successfully negotiated for both cash and non-cash severance provisions, including accelerated vesting of stock, provision of outplacement services and enhanced health or retirement benefits.

Results include:

• $12 million in lost salary and stock options recovered for a wrongfully terminated senior executive.
• $2.2 million settlement and additional stock vesting for the CEO of a publicly-traded company whose employment contract was breached.
• $717,000 in unpaid commissions recovered for three account representatives.
