Greg Mansell

Executive Employment Lawyer and Managing Partner

Greg Mansell is the founder and managing partner of Mansell Law, an employment law firm with offices in New York City and Columbus, Ohio. His practice centers on the highest stakes employment matters: representing executives, C-suite leaders and senior professionals in severance and exit negotiations, executive compensation and equity disputes, and claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination.

Greg has personally obtained more than $50 million for his clients. He has represented numerous executives in seven-figure severance and exit negotiations, protecting salary continuation, bonuses, equity, deferred compensation and reputation while narrowing the restrictive covenants and release terms that companies use to limit an executive’s next move.

Executive Representation and Compensation

Executives turn to Greg at the moments that matter most: when they are negotiating a new role, when a dispute develops with a board or leadership team, and when they are leaving. He reviews and negotiates executive employment agreements, equity awards and deferred compensation, and non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, and he advises executives on their rights under bonus, incentive and change in control arrangements.

Severance and Exit Negotiations

Greg’s executive severance practice combines a detailed understanding of how companies value releases, equity and covenants with the credibility of a trial lawyer who is prepared to litigate. That combination gives his clients leverage at the negotiating table, whether the work happens quietly behind the scenes or directly with the company and its counsel.

High Stakes Litigation

Greg has successfully litigated hundreds of employment cases. He has represented individuals in jury trials and arbitrations that resulted in numerous successful verdicts, and in matters ranging from 24,000-plus person wage and hour class actions to individual executive disputes. He also represents clients before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in mediations and in other proceedings involving unlawful termination, discrimination, retaliation and sexual harassment.
