Employees & Contractors

PortaLaw is your advocate. We represent management employees, executives and contractors in legal disputes arising from the beginning to the very end of the employment relationship. Our lawyers will usually recommend that you start with a Case Assessment, so that we can get to know you, your legal issues and assess your options and risk. If appropriate and advisable in your case, we will review your negotiation and litigation options.
