Nigel F. Telman

Adequate representation for a complex employment dispute

I retained Mr. Telman at Proskauer Rose to represent my mid-sized company in a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former executive. His deep background in Employment Law - Management, backed by over three decades of experience and his recognition by Best Lawyers, was immediately apparent. He provided a thorough analysis of the risks and crafted a solid defense strategy. The outcome of the case was ultimately favorable, which is the primary reason for this review. However, the experience had its frustrations. While Nigel himself is clearly knowledgeable, communication through his team was sometimes slow, with responses taking several days during critical phases. At times, I felt like I had to follow up to get updates that should have been proactive. The billing structure, while standard for a firm of this caliber, felt rigid for the level of direct partner accessibility I received. For a straightforward matter, his expertise is undeniable, but for clients who prioritize consistent, direct communication and a more hands-on approach from the named partner, expectations should be managed. He is a competent attorney who achieved the legal result, but the client service aspect felt merely adequate.
