MPP Executives Group
Because Executives and Professionals have unique considerations and opportunities.
The three keynotes of MPP Executives Group's representation of officers, executives, and professionals are:
- We render result oriented legal advice to identify our clients’ principal areas of opportunity;
- We negotiate on behalf of our clients achieving optimal results; and
- Where indicated, litigate our clients’ legal claims to obtain high value resolutions and verdicts.
Legal Advice
MPP Executive group lawyers have the proven legal ability and business experience to assist CEOs and other top officers and professionals achieve their employment law related goals. Our method features deep listening and creative thinking about our clients’ opportunities. Our legal advice derives from sound judgments applied to a full understanding of our clients often complex and dynamic situations. Our preeminent service is sound legal judgment applied to our clients individual circumstances.
Negotiation
Most seniors and professionals would rather “win the war without fighting it,” that is, they would rather achieve their goals without resorting to litigation. With large firm backgrounds, MPP Executive Group lawyers are well versed in business practicalities and decision making, and are insightful and non-ideological. They are able to put together, with their clients, effective game plans for negotiation and carry them out, often in difficult or complex circumstances.
Litigation
In the words of Teddy Roosevelt, MPP's firm litigation philosophy is to “speak softly, but to carry a large stick.” The large stick is the proven ability to successfully take on any and all comers in the Connecticut litigation arena. Madsen Prestley & Parenteau LLC routinely litigates and tries cases against the top litigators from the best law firms that represent employers in Connecticut. We are Connecticut-based, and have spent most of our professional careers honing our litigation skills in the Connecticut environment.
An often crucial ingredient in MPP's success is personal reputation and credibility with Connecticut -based companies and the lawyers who customarily represent them. MPP has a proven and extensive track record of putting deals together that stick, and litigating capably when no preemptive resolution is possible, and obtaining high verdicts for our clients.
Peter Prestley
Previously held the position of Deputy General Counsel of The Travelers, and later at leading Wall Street firm Simpson Thacher and Bartlett in New York City, where he practiced in the complex litigation area. Peter became accustomed to working with CEOs and other seniors and professionals during these periods of practice, and for the last 13 years has applied his wide and sophisticated experience to representing such people in their private capacities. In these negotiations a deft first cut and the right approach the first time are critical, as are the ability to negotiate around obstacles and dilemmas.
Will Madsen
Previously practiced at Day Berry & Howard, now Day Pitney, at the time the largest multi-service firm based in Connecticut, and later at Jackson Lewis, a national employer-side employment law firm. He moved to the plaintiff side of the employment and benefits law and litigation area of practice over 13 years ago. His experience at large employer-related defense firms gives him a unique sense of what the other side is thinking both at the negotiation and litigation stages. Will also heads up MPP's class action practice.
