Sklover & Company, LLC
Employment Attorneys
Serving Executives, Professionals and Senior Managers
Assisting Clients Worldwide for 40 Years
Our Practice
Our practice is devoted to serving the needs of executives, professionals and senior manager in all business sectors, in their negotiation and navigation of employment and career matters. On an as-needed basis, we invite the services of attorneys with allied practices, including taxation, immigration, intellectual property, litigation and criminal defense.
We have not in the past, and we do not now, offer our services to employers. We are therefore immune from most conflicts of interest.
Telephone Consultations
As a first step we offer confidential consultations days, evenings and weekends, depending upon urgency. For those who have used our services and are “continuing clients” (see below), brief discussions, without review of new documents, are provided without charge. For others, please see our Schedule of Consultation Fees on our About page. Consultation arrangements can be made with Ms. Vanessa Mustapha at 212.757.5000 or Vanessa@ExecutiveLaw.com.
Negotiation
Our most significant “value-add” to clients is our deep knowledge, experience and expertise in negotiating employment matters and resolving employment disputes at the executive, professional and senior management levels. We are particularly adept at preemptively (i) identifying, assessing and reducing, if not eliminating, “risks,” (ii) enhancing the varied potential “rewards,” and (iii) clarifying “roles.” Negotiations of Equity is a particular area of expertise.
In employment separations, we are devoted to confidentially achieving the best possible timing, terms and tone of departure/transition, while preserving the most valuable of career interests, namely, revenues, relationships and reputations. We are devoted to resolving clients’ disputes through principle-based negotiation, if possible, without the significant risks of the litigation process.
Coaching Through Critical Times
Certain client matters are best addressed by a process of continual consultations and coaching over a period of weeks or months. These include (i) when a client senses he or she is “losing influence,” “losing territory” or even in danger of losing employment. (ii) when a client is desirous of transitioning from one job or career to another, and (iii) when a client has decided to leave employment and become an entrepreneur.
Representation –
“Behind the Scenes” Guidance or by Open, Direct Interaction
The employment relations is a sensitive one into which the entry of attorneys can create the wrong impression. For this reason, we encourage many of our clients to negotiate their own issues and opportunities themselves, while we remain “behind the scenes.” In such matters, only if and when our own entry into the matter becomes necessary and appropriate do we then “openly advocate” for our client and his or her interests. We find this bifurcated approach to work quite well for our clients for several reasons, including expense reduction, relationship preservation, and avoidance of needless litigation.
Becoming a client of our firm requires the execution of a Retention Agreement, a form of which is available for review upon request. Continuing clients need not do so, and enjoy occasional consultations on potential opportunities and issues, without charge.
