A strategic and compassionate advocate in employment law

When our company faced a complex wrongful termination lawsuit from a former executive, the situation felt overwhelming. We needed counsel who was not only legally astute but could also navigate the sensitive human resources aspects with care. Doug Schnee of Jackson Lewis was precisely that. Drawing on his deep focus in Employment Law - Management, he immediately provided a clear assessment of our risks and a strategic path forward. His background, including his recognition in The Best Lawyers in America for Labor & Employment litigation, was evident in his confident, nuanced approach. Doug meticulously prepared our defense, anticipating every argument from the plaintiff's counsel. What stood out was his ability to translate dense legal concepts into actionable business advice for our leadership team. His negotiation was masterful; he secured a settlement that was not only financially prudent but also included a confidentiality agreement that protected our company's reputation. Beyond the impressive outcome, Doug's professionalism and steady guidance throughout the four-month process were invaluable. He made himself consistently available, returning calls promptly even during a busy trial schedule. For any Ohio business navigating the complexities of labor law, from preventative counsel to high-stakes litigation, I cannot recommend Douglas Schnee more highly. He is a true asset.
