Ms. Esquire has been a great group, and special due to being mostly ladies, which brings a different vibe. Some of the activities we do during our monthly meetings bring the members closer to one another which is great. Also, all members are phenomenal and intelligent business owners, people you want to relate to and be around.
Employment Law (Advisory & Transactional)
Helen Mileto
After many years as a litigator in New York, I took a leap of faith and turned a long-held dream into reality by founding Helen Mileto Law. That leap mirrors the courage of the solo and small business owners I work with every day—and connecting with clients on that level is what makes my work so rewarding.
With Helen Mileto Law, I strive to support solo and small business owners—helping them achieve their goals while minimizing legal risk and, ideally, avoiding litigation altogether. My employment law services include reviewing, drafting, revising, and negotiating employment agreements, vendor agreements, insurance policies, NDAs, and partnership agreements. I also serve as fractional general counsel, offering flat-fee, ongoing employment and compliance guidance tailored to each client’s operations, from handbook updates to advising leadership on documenting employee matters.
For individuals, my practice focuses on reviewing and negotiating severance agreements and employment offers. I’ve secured significantly improved terms for clients and provide strategic counseling on positioning, communication, and negotiation with current or prospective employers. When needed, I personally negotiate severance outcomes designed to resolve disputes without litigation.
