MEET THE TEAM
Our exclusive focus allows us to devote all our time and attention to understanding the nuances of employment law as it applies to senior executives and companies. Whether negotiating a CEO’s agreement, representing a management team in non-compete litigation, or protecting an executive’s interests during a severance event, Clouse Brown brings experience and creativity to each engagement.
With varied backgrounds in Big Law, in-house law departments, litigation boutiques, and higher education, the Clouse Brown team combines big firm talent with small firm flexibility. We approach each client’s needs with efficient case evaluation and an understanding of business realities.
The firm’s attorneys are regularly called on to negotiate, draft and litigate employment contracts and negotiate severance packages for senior-level and C-suite executives.
