Every employment matter FineCounsel handles involves an executive or senior professional. That specialization means deeper expertise and stronger outcomes at the negotiating table.
From the moment you receive an offer letter to the day you negotiate your departure — and everything in between — FineCounsel provides senior-level counsel at every stage of your executive career.
When your employment ends — on your terms or theirs — we ensure your departure package reflects your contribution and fully protects your financial future.
Before you sign any executive agreement, we identify the provisions that will cost you most — and negotiate hard on every term that matters to your future.
Non-compete, non-solicitation, and NDA provisions can derail your next opportunity. We analyze enforceability and challenge these aggressively on your behalf.
Executives face unique vulnerabilities in termination and post-departure claims. We investigate, advise, and negotiate when your departure crosses legal lines.
Your next executive role deserves expert negotiation from day one — before you sign anything, while your leverage is at its highest.
Deferred compensation plans, pension benefits, and corporate transactions all create complex rights for executives that demand careful protection.
At large employment firms, executive matters are routinely delegated to junior associates. At FineCounsel, Andrew Fine handles every matter personally — from the first call through final resolution.
At FineCounsel, your matter is never handed off to an associate. Every contract review, negotiation call, and strategy decision is handled by Andrew Fine directly. That is what boutique practice means in practice.
FineCounsel is exclusively executive-side — the firm never represents employers. That means negotiation strategy focused entirely on your outcome, with no divided loyalties and no risk of conflict.
Severance windows close. Equity lapses. FineCounsel responds to new client inquiries within 24 hours and turns around urgent agreement reviews in 48–72 hours — without large-firm overhead slowing things down.
Attorney-client privilege attaches from our first conversation. C-suite employment matters demand the highest discretion — and that is how this practice operates, without exception.
A clear, confidential process designed for the pace and discretion that executive matters require.
A private call to understand your situation, timeline, and goals. No obligation. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help and what to realistically expect.
Every clause reviewed, leverage points identified, and a negotiation strategy developed specifically for your situation — not a generic playbook.
We negotiate directly with company counsel — measured, professional, and focused entirely on maximizing your outcome while preserving important relationships.
Once your matter closes, you have a trusted advisor for every agreement, board role, and career transition ahead. Many clients return at every stage of their careers.
Executive employment matters are time-sensitive. The sooner you have counsel, the more leverage you have.
