Profile
Howard combines innovative thinking and pragmatic problem solving with committed advocacy on a day to day basis to help his clients achieve their goals and objectives.
In today’s rapidly changing and highly regulated business environment, a lawyer must do more than tell a client what cannot be done; he must stay one step ahead, guiding the client on a steady path forward.
A Path Forward in Education
In the area of education law, Howard represents public school districts and private universities throughout New York. He provides collaborative real time day to day advice on the most complex and controversial matters facing his clients. When problems cannot be solved amicably, Howard provides zealous, yet cost effective, advocacy, collaborating with his clients at each and every phase of the matter.
A Path Forward in Business
In private sector employment litigation, Howard litigates all types of employment discrimination and retaliation claims. He also represents clients in noncompete and trade secret cases and has won two significant appellate court decisions strengthening and cementing New York’s “Faithless Servant Doctrine.” Due to Howard’s extensive litigation experience, his clients can expect to be fully informed up front of both the strengths and weaknesses of their case, as well as potential fees. There is simply no substitute for informed strategic decisions at the outset.
Beyond the Courtroom
Many of Howard’s cases have received media attention and have been reported in national employment law periodicals. In addition, Howard frequently lectures and writes articles on topics such as Constitutional Law, non-compete and trade secret litigation, employment and Constitutional issues relating to social networking sites and various aspects of employment discrimination and education law.
