We know what’s in your agreement because we write them for companies
Founded by Mike Flesuras, Grey Ocean is an employment law boutique that represents executives, startup founders, and venture-backed companies nationwide. When we sit across the table for you, we bring the same expertise we use when drafting for the other side—and that means we know exactly where there’s room to push.
Employer-Side Expertise
We draft employment agreements, executive compensation packages, and separation terms for companies every day. We know what the company’s lawyers intended—and exactly where there’s room to negotiate more for you.
State & Federal Expertise
Employment law varies dramatically by jurisdiction—non-compete enforceability, severance requirements, and executive protections all depend on where you work. We know the nuances at both the state and federal level and use them to your advantage.
Startup and Tech Fluency
We understand venture-backed compensation—option grants, RSU schedules, acceleration clauses, 409A valuations. You won’t need to explain how your equity works or why it matters to your total package.
Litigation Experience
We’ve litigated employment disputes in state and federal court. That experience tells us which agreement provisions actually get enforced and which are paper tigers—and that shapes every recommendation we make.
Practical, Outcome-Focused
We don’t just flag issues—we tell you what to do about them. You’ll get a clear assessment of leverage, specific redline suggestions, and a strategy for the conversation with your employer.
Fast Turnaround
Offer deadlines and severance windows don’t wait. Most reviews are completed within 48 hours, with rush service available when your timeline demands it.
