We also routinely represent high ranking executives in the negotiation of employment agreements and severance packages.

Our lawyers keep informed of current legislation and actively promote business owners' interests to the California legislature via their involvement in the Government Affairs Committee of PIHRA (Professionals in Human Resources Association) and the California Chamber of Commerce.
