Jacob R. Dean

Exceptional guidance through a complex non-compete dispute

Our company faced a challenging situation when a departing senior manager attempted to violate a non-compete agreement, posing a significant threat to our client relationships and proprietary information. We engaged Jacob Dean at Greenberg Traurig based on his recognized focus in Labor and Employment Law - Management. Despite his relatively short time at the firm, Jacob demonstrated a command of Georgia employment law that was immediately impressive. He meticulously analyzed our agreements, advised on a strategic course that balanced firmness with pragmatism, and handled all communications with opposing counsel. His preparation was thorough, and his advice was always clear and commercially sensible. The matter was resolved efficiently with a favorable settlement that fully protected our interests, avoiding costly litigation. Jacob’s professionalism and direct involvement were invaluable. His recognition in legal guides is clearly well-deserved, and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any management-side employment issue.
