About Steven

Steven represents clients in all aspects of employment counseling and litigation – including game-changing strategic hires, high-stakes terminations of employment, internal investigations, allegations of misconduct, and protecting against the misappropriation of intellectual property and proprietary information. He routinely counsels on a range of sensitive human resources issues facing employers, such as recruiting and hiring talent, worker classification, wage-and-hour matters, and addressing employee mobility issues – including matters involving employee noncompetes and trade secret misappropriation. Steven works with clients to develop and implement policies to reflect company culture within a legal framework.
