Buffalo Professional & Executive Employment Law Attorneys

Licensed professionals and executives often face employment disputes that general practice attorneys aren't equipped to handle: enforcing or contesting a non-compete at a career transition, negotiating departure terms after a restructuring, or protecting compensation rights tied to stock options or deferred benefits. The Glennon Law Firm, P.C. maintains a defined practice focus on professional and executive employment law, representing clients in finance, healthcare, higher education, and technology throughout Buffalo and Western New York. New York's evolving limits on non-compete enforceability make legal review of restrictive covenants particularly important for professionals considering career moves.

Our services in professional and executive employment law include:

• Employment agreements: We draft, review, and negotiate employment contracts that outline the terms and conditions of your role, including job duties, compensation, benefits, and termination clauses.
• Severance agreements: Our Buffalo employment attorneys negotiate severance packages and resolve disputes arising from involuntary termination or restructuring.
• Non-compete and non-disclosure agreements: We protect your professional interests by reviewing and negotiating restrictive covenants that may affect your career advancement and ability to compete in the market.
• Executive compensation and benefits: Our team works to ensure that your compensation package reflects industry standards and your individual needs, including stock options, bonuses, and retirement plans.

Skilled Advocates for Employee Rights & Protections in Buffalo

The Glennon Law Firm, P.C. represents employees who have experienced unlawful treatment in the workplace. Our attorneys are well-versed in both state and federal employment laws, handling labor disputes and employment disputes involving discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and wage violations. New York State law extends protections beyond federal law, covering marital and familial status, gender identity, prior criminal convictions, and status as a domestic violence victim, among other categories. Employees pursuing federal discrimination claims must first file a charge with the EEOC before bringing suit in federal court, while New York state law claims can be filed directly in state court or before the New York Division of Human Rights. Filing deadlines differ between these paths, and missing them can bar an otherwise valid claim.

Our employee rights and protections services include:

• Discrimination and harassment claims: We represent employees who have experienced discrimination or harassment based on age, gender, race, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics.
• Wage and hour disputes: Our attorneys work to help employees pursue the wages and overtime pay they may be entitled to under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and New York Labor Law (NYLL).
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) violations: We help employees assert their rights to medical and family leave under the FMLA, working to protect the time off and job security the law provides.
• Wrongful termination claims: Our team represents employees who have been unfairly dismissed or retaliated against for exercising their legal rights.

Providing Experienced Support for Employers in Buffalo

Employers face employment disputes and labor disputes from multiple directions at once: EEOC investigations, Division of Human Rights proceedings, wage and hour audits, and wrongful termination claims can all arise simultaneously. The Glennon Law Firm, P.C. provides proactive legal counsel and representation to help Buffalo-area employers reduce that exposure before disputes arise and respond effectively when they do. Our approach addresses both layers employers must navigate: federal law, including the FLSA, Title VII, ADA, ADEA, and FMLA, and the broader protections under New York State law.

Our employer services include:

• Compliance with employment laws: We help employers understand and follow federal and state employment laws, including wage and hour regulations, anti-discrimination laws, and workplace safety requirements.
• Employee handbooks and policies: Our Buffalo employment attorneys draft and review employee handbooks and policies, helping ensure they reflect current laws and best practices for managing employee relations.
