Areas of Practice


Labor & Employment

Recognized as experts and thought leaders in Labor and Employment matters for nearly 2 decades, we hone in on counseling employers on wage and hour best practices, risk mitigation, and litigation avoidance. Strong knowledge of technology and a keen understanding of regulatory changes allows us to train and counsel employers for the future.

For employees, we offer review and counseling of employment matters including severance agreements, equity opportunities, non-disclosures and non-compete agreements.


Business Law


SVJ Law is well versed in business matters ranging from start-up formation through mergers and acquisitions. With a primary focus on ‘in house’ duties, SVJ works well with outside counsel on matters to ensure clients are fully protected and receive the best available counsel.

Estate Administration

Death is hard. The aftermath of losing someone dear to you can truly take a toll. SVJ can help ease the burden, make things simple, and guide you through (or handle for you) the estate administration process.
