Skilled and strategic employment law guidance

Samantha Abeysekera provided excellent counsel during a complex non-compete agreement dispute with my former employer. Her recognition in Litigation - Labor and Employment by Best Lawyers is well-deserved, as her strategic approach was evident from our first meeting. She leveraged her deep knowledge of New York employment law to secure a favorable settlement. While her response time could occasionally be a day or two slower than expected during non-critical phases, her thorough analysis and clear communication made her invaluable. I highly recommend her for employment matters.
