Zachary A. Pestine

Expert guidance through a complex non-compete dispute

Our company faced a significant challenge when a departing senior manager attempted to violate a non-compete agreement, threatening our client relationships and proprietary information. We engaged Zachary Pestine at Greenberg Traurig based on his recognition in Labor and Employment Law - Management. Despite his relatively recent graduation from Washington University in St. Louis, his command of the nuanced Illinois case law was immediately apparent. Zachary didn't just react; he developed a proactive, multi-phase strategy that balanced legal rigor with practical business sense. His analysis was thorough, his communication was clear and timely, and he managed the litigation with a poise that belied his years of experience. The result was a highly favorable settlement that protected our interests without the cost and distraction of a protracted trial. Zachary's blend of sharp legal intellect and strategic foresight makes him a formidable asset. We are confident in his counsel and have already recommended him to our professional network.
