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.
