New York Employment & Business Counsel
Employment counsel for companies and the executives who lead them.
Lewis Law NYC PLLC advises businesses on the agreements, policies, investigations, and disputes that come with employing people, and represents executives and senior professionals when the terms of their own employment are on the table. The practice is anchored in employment law and extends to the business and commercial matters that grow alongside it.
Founded by a former BigLaw employment attorney and based in New York, Lewis Law offers large-firm employment counsel with one difference that matters: the attorney you meet is the attorney who does the work.
The Practice
Both sides of the employment relationship.
Employment law looks different depending on where you sit. Lewis Law advises the companies that hire, and the people they hire, which gives each engagement a clear view of how the other side thinks.
For Companies
Founders making their first hires. Growing companies that need policies, agreements, and compliance to keep pace with headcount. Established employers facing a difficult termination, an internal complaint, or a claim. In-house legal and HR teams that need an experienced outside hand on a specific matter.
For Executives & Senior Professionals
An offer worth negotiating. A separation that needs to be handled carefully. A non-compete standing between you and the next role. Lewis Law represents individuals at the points in a career where the documents carry real consequences.
Where the firm is most often engaged
Agreements & Separations
Offer letters, employment and contractor agreements, severance, reductions in force.
Restrictive Covenants & Trade Secrets
Non-competes and non-solicits drafted for the states where you have people, and enforced or defended when a departure goes wrong.

Natalie Lewis
Natalie founded Lewis Law after practicing in the employment group of a global law firm, where she defended employers in federal and state courts, arbitrations, and agency proceedings and advised on compliance, restrictive covenants, and internal investigations. She started the firm to offer that experience in a form large firms rarely can: direct access to the attorney handling the matter, and close attention to its specifics. Natalie earned her J.D., cum laude, from New York University School of Law.
