Executive Employment Counsel

The relationships between a company and its owners, directors and executives are critical to their liability, livelihoods, and reputations.

Those relationships are the exclusive focus of Bertram LLP.

We represent employers, owners, directors and executives in their most significant employment matters—the ones that cause the greatest disruption.

For executives, directors and owners, we advise on contractual matters as well as disputes, with all the sophistication and independence of counsel across the table, if not more.

For boards and employers,
we provide a strategic partner deeply experienced in counseling, investigations, litigation, and other sensitive employment matters.

No matter what role we serve, we are driven
solely by our clients' needs and goals.

We are not burdened by conflicts that can restrict larger firms
and make clients question the loyalties of their counsel.

We offer instead a partner proven in bringing order to the legal, business, and reputational issues that arise from executive, director and ownership disputes.
