Expert guidance through a complex non-compete dispute

Our mid-sized tech company faced a significant threat when a departing senior sales director attempted to join a direct competitor, blatantly violating a well-crafted non-compete agreement. We engaged Liam O'Connell at Nutter McClennen & Fish based on his recognition in Best Lawyers for Employment Law - Management. From our first strategy session, his deep, nine years of focused experience in labor and employment litigation was evident. He didn't just recite the law; he provided a clear, tactical roadmap that considered both the immediate injunction and the long-term business relationship landscape. His analysis of Massachusetts case law was precise, and his drafting of the cease-and-desist correspondence was formidable. The matter was resolved favorably through negotiation before a costly court filing, largely due to the strength of his initial positioning. The one area where we occasionally wished for more was in the timeliness of email responses during non-critical phases; sometimes a day would pass. However, when urgent action was needed, he was immediately available. Liam is a strategic thinker who understands that employment disputes are business problems first. We have confidently added him to our retained counsel for ongoing management-side labor matters.
