"Client-facing" is not the magic word that defeats remote work accommodation requests. The ADA interactive process requires genuine analysis of whether the role's essential functions can be performed with the accommodation, not a reflexive policy denial. Tysons employers who refused remote and hybrid accommodations after the pandemic, then fired workers for performance issues correlated with the unaccommodated condition, often have weak defenses. I represent these workers. Call me.

Executive employment agreements at Tysons technology, financial services, and federal contracting companies carry severance triggers, change-in-control provisions, golden parachute calculations, and restrictive covenants that the standard wrongful termination analysis does not capture. The dollars can be substantial, and the negotiation window is narrow. I represent Tysons executives in termination and severance matters. Call me before signing the separation agreement.

Bowman v. State Bank of Keysville created Virginia's common-law wrongful discharge doctrine, recognizing claims when a termination violates clearly established public policy. The doctrine reaches conduct federal frameworks sometimes miss, including refusal to break the law and exercise of statutory rights. I represent Tysons workers in Bowman public policy claims when federal claims alone don't capture the case. Call me.

Tysons employers regularly weaponize trade secret allegations against departing executives and senior employees. The DTSA, VUTSA, and overlapping non-compete enforcement create a litigation framework that can freeze a new role within days of departure. The defense requires immediate response to TROs, careful inevitable disclosure analysis, and pushback against overreaching restrictive covenants. I represent departing Tysons executives in these cases. Call me before the cease-and-desist hits.

Big Law Tysons offices, in-house departments, and Northern Virginia firm associates face up-or-out, partnership track, and origination disputes that the standard wrongful termination analysis does not capture. Bar admission, professional reputation, and the small Northern Virginia legal community all enter the equation. I represent attorneys in Tysons workplace disputes. Call me before the partnership review concludes.

After the termination, the former employer's negative reference to your prospective employer cost you the new job. The HR contacts at the next opportunity stopped returning calls after a former supervisor talked. Defamation, tortious interference with prospective business relations, and intentional infliction of emotional distress reach this conduct in ways the standard wrongful termination case does not. I represent Tysons workers in post-employment tort claims. Call me.

National Labor Relations Act Section 7 protects employees who engage in concerted activity for mutual aid and protection, including in non-union workplaces. Tysons workers fired after group complaints, social media posts about working conditions, or wage discussions with coworkers may have NLRB charges that the standard wrongful termination case overlooks. The NLRB framework reaches conduct other statutes don't. I represent Tysons workers in NLRB cases. Call me before the six-month deadline.

Tysons employers conducting mass layoffs must provide 60 days advance notice under the federal WARN Act. The notice rules apply to plant closings affecting 50 or more workers and mass layoffs affecting 500 or more, or 50 to 499 if 33% of the workforce. Violations create back pay liability through litigation. I represent Tysons workers in WARN Act cases. Call me before the 60-day window math becomes someone else's problem.

Tysons workers leave with substantial unvested equity, narrow post-departure exercise windows, and clawback provisions most employees never read closely. The standard severance review misses the equity treatment entirely. Days matter. The exercise window math, the accelerated vesting analysis, and the clawback challenges all have specific deadlines. I represent Tysons workers in equity disputes after departure. Call me before the option expires.
