Biography

John M. Nolan III concentrates his practice in Employment Law where he represents private and public employers, businesses, and executives in contentious litigation brought by employees and former employees. He has over 10 years of complex litigation experience in both state and federal courts, defending management against lawsuits alleging discrimination based on protected characteristics such as disability, sex, religion, national origin, race, and gender. He has a particular concentration in representing ERISA plan sponsors and fiduciaries in litigation brought by former highly compensated employees. John engages in both plaintiff and defense work regarding regarding private and public entity union benefits disputes, as well as asserting or defending matters involving theft of trade secrets, non-competition, and non-solicitation disputes.

John advises clients on the full spectrum of labor and employment law at the federal, state, and local level. John also develops and reviews executive compensation agreements and programs, including deferred compensation, supplemental executive retirement plans, equity awards, retirement benefits, and golden handcuff or golden parachute provisions.

John’s practice includes targeted use of the most modern electronic discovery techniques, which involves advising clients and other attorneys regarding both the legal and practical form and function of retrieving and reviewing electronically stored information prior to and during litigation. John is a common speaker on the use of forensic investigations into potential employee smartphone and computer misconduct, electronic theft, data loopholes, and cybersecurity in the context of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and Defend Trade Secrets Act.
