Employment
Handbooks, separations, non-competes, and advice before a decision rather than after one.
Detail
Almost every expensive employment matter we see began with a decision made on a Friday afternoon without a phone call. The decision was often defensible — the way it was carried out was not.
Clients on a retainer call us before, which is why their matters are smaller. That is the entire pitch.
In practice
Handbooks and policies
Written to be followed rather than to be comprehensive.
Separations
Process and documentation handled before the conversation, not after.
Restrictive covenants
Non-competes that are enforceable in Texas — a narrower category than most forms assume.
