Challenge
Structured Under Pressure
A sensitive executive separation required airtight restrictive covenant strategy, IP assignment clarity, and reputational control.
Approach
Defensible Execution Plan
We established a controlled diligence process with an escalation matrix for red flags, maintained a decision memo cadence for executive stakeholders, and enforced disclosure discipline aligned to privilege and regulatory exposure.
Partner Note
“In sensitive matters, the best advantage is disciplined documentation—what was decided, when, and why.”
Resolution
Outcome
We negotiated severance and non-solicit protections, preserved trade secret boundaries, and reduced downstream litigation exposure.
