Executive Counsel

Executives and senior managers face a distinct set of legal challenges — ones that require both sharp legal acumen and a deep understanding of how businesses actually operate. John Diefenbach has spent his career in that world, first advising military commanders and then serving alongside CEOs and executive teams as both outside counsel and in-house advisor.

That experience informs everything we do for executive clients. We don't just review documents — we understand what's at stake for you personally and professionally, and we counsel accordingly.

  • Employment agreement drafting, review, and negotiation

  • Non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements

  • Severance negotiations
