Sanjay V. Nair

Expert guidance through a complex non-compete dispute

I engaged Sanjay Nair at Littler after a former senior employee joined a direct competitor, raising serious concerns about confidential information and client relationships. While my initial search was for a general practice attorney in New York, Sanjay's specific, recognized expertise in Labor and Employment Law - Management was exactly what the situation demanded. His background, including his recognition by Best Lawyers in this precise field, gave me immediate confidence. He expertly navigated the intricacies of our non-compete and confidentiality agreements, providing a strategy that was both assertive and pragmatic. His analysis of the potential litigation landscape was exceptionally clear, helping us avoid a costly court battle. We successfully negotiated a favorable settlement that protected our business interests without unnecessary escalation. The one area where I noticed a slight delay was in email responses during particularly busy periods, which I understand is common at a high-demand firm. However, when we had scheduled calls or urgent matters, he was fully prepared and focused. His counsel was worth the investment. For any business facing sensitive employment matters, especially those with litigation risk, Sanjay Nair’s focused experience is a significant asset.
