Executive Representation Practice Group

For C-suite executives and those in the upper echelons of leadership at corporations and institutions nationwide, Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight excels at handling claims with discretion and integrity in a number of practice areas, including discrimination and harassment, retaliation, whistleblower and qui tam, wrongful termination, and financial fraud. Most of the matters we handle are settled confidentially before a lawsuit is ever filed. Throughout the steps leading up to settlement, communications remain private, from the initial consultation all the way through negotiations with the client’s employer for a satisfactory result.

Our success at settling matters confidentially before anything is ever filed is due to our strong track record in litigation and at trial. Past successes include verdicts ranging from low seven-figure awards up to nine-figure awards.

Our attorneys understand the complexities involved in bringing a claim against your own corporation or firm. It is our mission to negotiate a just resolution for our clients quickly and confidentially. In the event we need to file your case, we would commit all of the resources necessary to ensure a level playing field and put on the strongest case possible at trial.
