A relationship-based practice.
The Law Office of Lisa Pierson Weinberger is a boutique employment law practice. We specialize in the needs of private households and small businesses and are selective in taking on new clients to ensure we maintain the highest quality of work.
We grow with our clients, as circumstances or needs change, and consider our clients part of a trusted community whom we hope to serve for years to come.
Responsive and hands-on, our practice is by referral only.
While every circumstance is unique, our priority is to bring clarity, reassurance, and protection to our clients. We give our full attention to each matter, whether straightforward or complex, high stakes or of a sensitive nature.
Private Households
Anyone in the position to hire in-home help – from nannies, housekeepers, and chefs to estate managers or personal assistants – qualifies as an employer. Understanding the laws that apply to having in-home and administrative help is critical. We focus on the exacting work required to nurture clear, successful domestic relationships that protect the employer while respecting the employee.
We work directly with heads of household, talent, talent representation and family offices. We also frequently work with other law practices as part of a client’s management team.
Our practice is accustomed to the dynamics and discretion related to working with high-profile entertainment, sports, music, tech and related households.
Small Businesses
To be a business owner or entrepreneur is to balance the day-to-day with the big picture, while simultaneously managing the knowns and mitigating the unknowns. Fielding curveballs may be in the job description, but employment litigation doesn’t have to be one of them. Effective counsel, and thorough documentation related to employment law is crucial to organizational stability.
Staying current on matters of employment law is an investment in harmony and happiness in the workplace. When expectations are clear and company policies reflect both legal responsibilities and an owner’s value system, the likelihood of conflict is reduced and a standard of mutual respect becomes part of the company’s DNA.
