The Law Offices of Thomas C. Walker

Calling for a consult could be the smartest employment decision you've ever made.

This law practice has taken on some of the Bay Area's & Silicon Valley's most prominent employers in seeking recompense and restitution for our clients: current and former employees, those wanting to be hired or promoted, employees mis-classified as independent contractors, ...from blue collar to the CEO.   If you have been harassed, discriminated against, terminated or feel your rights, benefits, privileges of Employment have been denied - this firm would like to talk with you.

   The majority of our cases appear to emphasize one of these claims:

    * Gender Discrimination and/or Sexual Harassment

    * Hostile Work Environment

    * Disability Discrimination

    * Race and/or National Origin Discrimination

    * Age Discrimination

    * Violation of Protected Medical Leave Laws

    * Breach of Implied Contract

    * Failure to Pay Commissions & Wages

 

Your employer typically has significant experience and legal resources for negotiating contracts, separations, release agreements and ongoing duties between you and them.  It's fairly likely that you don't have this same experience.    To balance the scales, this practice offers consultative engagements to assist you in understanding the options, strategy and preferred outcomes of these negotiations.

   The majority of these engagements focus on objectives such as:

• Strategy in advance of starting the Separation discussion
  

• Maximize the Severance package
  

• Gain future protections within an Employment Contract
  

• Avoid the Restrictive Covenants & claw-backs
  

• Void a Non-Compete clause and/or agreements
  

• Avoid a Liquidated Damages "pay-back" clause
  

• Find leverage and a right voice for Negotiations
  

• To better understand the implications of employment termination, EDD unemployment insurance, reference checks, COBRA subsidy, ongoing disability insurance, pension, etc.
