Veronica Yu Welsh

Exceptional guidance through a complex non-compete dispute

Our mid-sized tech firm in Baltimore faced a challenging situation when a departing senior manager attempted to join a direct competitor, potentially violating a non-compete agreement. We were referred to Veronica Yu Welsh at Ogletree Deakins, and it was the best decision we could have made. Despite her relatively few years in practice, her command of Maryland employment law was immediately apparent. She meticulously reviewed our agreements and the employee's conduct, outlining a clear, strategic path forward that balanced legal rigor with practical business sense. Veronica’s recognition in Best Lawyers for Labor and Employment Management was evident in her nuanced approach; she understood that litigation was a tool, not the only goal. She successfully negotiated a resolution that protected our confidential information and client relationships without the need for a protracted public court battle, saving us significant time and resources. Her professionalism was unwavering—she was always prepared, communicated complex issues in understandable terms, and was genuinely invested in achieving a positive outcome for our company. Veronica combines sharp legal acumen with a client-focused demeanor that is truly refreshing. I would not hesitate to engage her for any future employment law matters and recommend her without reservation to any Maryland business.
