Carson H. Sullivan

Skilled and diligent counsel for a complex employment matter

I engaged Carson Sullivan at Paul Hastings to advise on a sensitive severance negotiation after a sudden termination from my executive role in Baltimore. While his firm is prominent in DC, Carson was highly accessible and grounded in the practical realities of Maryland employment law. His analysis of my non-compete and equity clauses was exceptionally thorough, and he clearly leveraged the firm's deep resources in labor and employment litigation. I was particularly impressed with his strategic approach; he didn't just react but helped me understand the long-term implications of each clause, which was invaluable. His recognition in the field is well-deserved, as his advice was precise and commercially savvy. The only minor critique would be that, during the initial week, there were a couple of instances where email responses took a full business day, which added to my anxiety at the time. However, once the negotiation was actively underway, his communication was prompt and proactive. Overall, Carson provided outstanding representation. He is a sharp, knowledgeable attorney who instilled confidence during a stressful period, and I would not hesitate to recommend him for employment-related matters in the region.
