Employees + Contractors
PortaLaw is your advocate in workplace law. We represent management employees, executives, and contractors in legal disputes arising from the beginning to the very end of the employment relationship.
Our employment lawyers will usually recommend that you start with an Initial Meeting, 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.

Legal Coaching
Legal coaching is when we provide legal advice and strategic guidance while you remain responsible for directly managing your matter. Common examples of legal coaching include:
Providing legal advice by telephone, videoconference, or email;
Reviewing correspondence received from your employer, insurer or other third party;
Reviewing and advising on draft communications prepared by you; and
Providing strategic advice about workplace issues, investigations, discipline, terminations, accommodations, and negotiations.
Because legal coaching is limited in scope, we do not generally:
Communicate with the opposing party on your behalf;
Draft correspondence on PortaLaw letterhead;
Hold ourselves out as your counsel to third parties;
Draft or file legal claims; or
Provide full representation in negotiations, mediations, or litigation.
Where more extensive assistance is needed, we can discuss a separate scope of work and fee arrangement.
