Employment Law

Services

We act as trusted advisors to help our clients successfully manage all stages of the employment relationship—from hiring through exit.

Decades of experience have taught us that the best way to defend against employment and labor disputes is to avoid them. To proactively guard against expensive litigation and business distraction, and to allow our clients to remain focused on their key business strategies, we assist our clients by establishing appropriate management training, developing of effective policies and practices, and conducting voluntary audits that expose potential issues.

At the same time, however, our attorneys have the litigation skills to aggressively pursue any matter through trial when it is in the client’s best interests.

Executive Contracts + Compensation

Navigating the executive employment contract and compensation process is complex and can have a deep impact on an executive’s earning potential.

Similarly, a company without financial means to recruit top talent needs to know other ways to reel in the ideal hire. The executive contract can be used as a recruitment tool without trading the company for an executive.

Whether you are an executive or a corporation, Kelleher + Holland, LLC has the professional knowledge and experience to assist you in negotiating executive contracts and compensation.
