    Testimonial: "Charles Forgang spoke to our organization on a wide range of issues relating to preparation for the beginning and end of each job. This was particularly relevant to our membership given the volatility of the current job market, and the fact that many jobs for senior financial executives last only a few years. Charles presented very good case examples and advice on how to handle and structure contract negotiations, severance agreements, and non-compete clauses among others. This created an awareness of the legal complexity of each employment situation, in particular in regard to loopholes and potential pitfalls which need to be addressed and resolved before starting a new job." – Bruce Crawford, Chairman
