At Viridian, our employment law professionals help our clients attract, retain and compensate the best personnel at all levels of their companies. We have a deep understanding of the laws governing employees and a practical, efficient approach to solving problems.
Our seasoned professionals have expertise in the following areas:
- Executive Compensation: including cash and equity-based compensation arrangements and plans, and exit-focused guidance.
- General Employment Advice: strategic planning, preventative advice and development of best practices to minimize employment-related risk.
- Equity Compensation: including option plans, restricted stock and other derivatives, along with 409A compliance and related valuation services.
- Trade Secrets and Noncompetes: we work with companies to implement strategies that comprehensively protect a business' proprietary information and goodwill, from drafting and negotiating restrictive covenant agreements and reviewing for enforceability in connection with employee departures. When litigation arises, we represent both companies seeking to protect their trade secrets and enforce their non-competition agreements, and individuals accused of breach and misappropriation.
