Employment


A partner in the firm’s employment practice, Daniel negotiates offer letters and separation agreements, litigates compensation and discrimination cases, resolves restrictive covenant disputes, handles claims of wrongful termination or retaliation, conducts and defends internal investigations, and revises employment plans and policies. Daniel advises clients on every step of the employment process across multiple industries, including financial services, healthcare, biotech, media, entertainment, and technology.

A significant portion of Daniel’s practice involves compensation for executives and professionals. This includes not only salary and base pay but also commissions, discretionary and guaranteed bonuses, long-term incentive and/or deferred compensation, as well as multiple forms of equity such as stock options, restricted or performance stock units, partnership units, and phantom stock. Daniel’s experience with complex compensation structures makes him an asset to clients in commercial and investment banks, brokerages, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital firms, family offices, biotech companies, healthcare institutions, and private medical practices.
