For C-Suite Employees

Many people mistakenly think traditional Labor and Employment Law protects only non-management workers. However, there are federal and state employment laws which also protect Management Employees including C-Suite Executives. We have substantial experience representing highly compensated, Presidents, Vice Presidents, and other C-Suite Executives with their employment issues such as severance, non-renewal or breach of employment contract, termination, layoff, retaliation, whistle blowing, age discrimination, sex discrimination, and other forms of employment discrimination. Below are a few of the cases we’ve handled successfully for C-Suite Executives. If you are a C-Suite Executive or a Management employee with a similar employment problem, contact us today.

Client Testimonials

“John [LaRosa] was my attorney in a dispute related to the buyout of my interests in a business. I came to John after initially using a very large Philadelphia based law firm where I felt like I was just another case. John gave my case the attention it needed. He is extremely thorough, detail oriented, persistent, and has impeccable knowledge of labor law. In addition, he is a sharp strategic thinker as he prepares a case and interacts with opposing counsel. If I were in need of a labor law attorney again I would immediately call John, and I strongly recommend him to anyone else who wants a fighter in their corner!” – AG

“If someone were in need of legal counsel, I would highly recommend John LaRosa. John is extremely detail oriented, and will leave “no stone un-turned” when reviewing his clients’ situations. He will also fight like a pit bull for what is right. I’ve been a client and a friend of John’s for many years, and he exemplifies professionalism” – NM
