Legal Services for Executives in Harris County & Texas

Executive roles involve more than standard employment issues. From the outset of employment through departure and beyond, each phase presents potential legal implications. 

We provide counsel and representation in matters involving the following.

  • Executive employment agreements: We review, negotiate, and draft executive contracts to protect your compensation, bonuses, equity awards, and other key terms. Our goal is to secure agreements that are favorable, enforceable, and aligned with your career objectives.
  • Severance negotiations and exit packages: When your employment ends, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, we help negotiate severance packages that provide financial security and protect your legal rights. We work to maximize benefits and address issues such as non-disparagement, confidentiality, and post-employment obligations.
  • Restrictive covenants: Executives are often subject to non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements. We offer strategic counsel on the enforceability of these clauses, and we litigate when necessary to protect your ability to transition or compete lawfully in the marketplace.
  • Internal investigations and whistleblower protections: If you become involved in or affected by an internal investigation, we provide guidance that protects your rights and reputation. We also advise executives who must report misconduct under federal or state whistleblower laws.
  • Dispute resolution and litigation: When litigation becomes necessary, our firm is prepared to represent you in disputes involving wrongful termination, breach of contract, retaliation, or discrimination. We approach each case with discretion, professionalism, and a focus on favorable outcomes.

Why Executive Representation Matters

Executives often face asymmetrical power dynamics with employers represented by experienced legal teams. Having your own skilled attorney levels the playing field. From negotiating contracts to addressing disputes, legal representation allows you to make informed decisions and protect what you have earned.

Spiliotis Law PLLC understands the nuances of executive-level legal matters because we have decades of experience advising both employers and employees. Founder Nick Spiliotis has spent years helping employers prevent legal exposure; he can use that experience to help executives identify risk, assess leverage, and make strategic moves.
