Rich is prompt, professional, and available whenever matters require it. He is highly effective and a skilled negotiator with excellent judgment. He’s also a thoughtful advisor who’s invested in his clients’ long-term success, with counsel that extends well beyond the matter at hand. Highly recommend.

I’ve been lucky to have Rich Friedman in my corner as employment counsel. He is not simply great at his job. He is a true partner. Rich shows up with uncommon steadiness and care. He thinks three moves ahead, then takes the time to walk you through the why, calmly, clearly, and without drama. When things get intense, he gets more focused. When timelines compress, he somehow creates more precision. He worked day and night for me when it mattered most, and did it with real thoughtfulness and humanity.

If you need employment counsel who blends sharp judgment with deep integrity, and who will genuinely carry the weight alongside you, Rich is the person I recommend without hesitation.

Richard was recommended to me by a trusted legal colleague. Richard is extremely professional, detailed and effectively represented my matter to a close even when he was on vacation!

Rich was highly recommended to me by another Employment Litigator who didn’t have the bandwidth to help me on short notice. Rich was amazing. I contacted him with literally a few hours to act before my window for action closed. Rich dropped everything to assist me and provided spot on time sensitive counsel that led to me hiring him to represent me. The outcome was quite favorable and just, but one that I thought was unlikely until Rich put things into the proper perspective. Rich is brilliant, strategic, empathetic, a great listener, available, appropriately aggressive and the calm in the eye of the storm. I couldn’t recommend Rich more.

Richard was a phenomenal advisor and champion as I changed employers. He not only reviewed my employment contract and provided expert counsel, but also worked with me on the side providing best practices and advanced negotiating contracts to help set me up for success in my future role. In addition, even post contract, Richard continues to check in on my progress and ensuring that everything continues smoothly into the future. There is no doubt about his expertise and professionalism, but also an awesome human being to have in anyone’s rolodex.

I was working with a business partner who produced great work product for my accounting firm but was simply not reliable which was starting to affect the business negatively. I consulted with another attorney to prepare an independent contractor agreement. The agreement was well written but harsh in tone. I later consulted with Richard for further guidance. He asked questions to gain an understanding of my relationship with the business partner and his value to my company. Richard was able to help me to put matters in perspective and helped reduce my stress from the situation. He rewrote the original agreement in a kinder tone, without losing its intent. The business partner signed without any reservation and apologized for the manner in which he had handled “things.” Richard’s approach to resolve issues focuses on the relationship between the parties which is critical in my view to the growth of any business. It is my pleasure to recommend him for all employment-related counseling and litigation matters as well as other
business disputes.

Richard provided invaluable counsel and assistance in negotiating an acceptable separation agreement from my employer when my position was eliminated.
