Employment Law

Executive-level employment counsel for Georgia employers, and informed advocacy for the employees working through them.

Why this work matters

Work is where some of the biggest decisions get made, for a company and for the people in it. One termination, one accommodation, one complaint, or one severance package can shape what the next few years look like for everyone involved.

Most workplace problems start long before a lawsuit is filed, in a policy that wasn't updated, a request that wasn't handled the right way, or a conversation that should have gone differently. Transcendens Law works on the front end to prevent problems, and steps in when something still needs to be resolved.

Why Transcendens Law

Executive-level judgment shaped in the General Counsel seat.

Most employment lawyers represent one side. Plaintiffs' firms litigate for employees. Defense firms defend employers. Few have actually sat in the chair where workforce decisions get made, where accommodations cross the General Counsel's desk, where investigations get authorized, where the cost-benefit of a severance gets weighed against litigation risk.

Victoria spent nearly a decade in that chair. As Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of large, multi-state, heavily regulated companies, she built and led legal departments, negotiated directly with state and federal regulators, defended class actions and mass arbitration filings, and structured a $350+ million debt refinancing in a difficult market. That foundation was built at Holland & Knight. She brings that depth to Georgia employers managing workforce risk and to Georgia employees whose situations call for the same caliber of representation, selectively, and only where there is no conflict.

Simple, proactive guidance:

Schedule an Attorney Strategy Session

1. Schedule an Attorney Strategy Session

We start by listening to your story and understanding what you need.

2. Expect a personal response within one business day

We explain the path ahead, step by step, so you always know what to expect.

3. Receive a clear plan to move forward with confidence

We put the plan into action, keep you updated at every step, and work hard to reach the best outcome for you.

Workplace problems rarely start with a lawsuit. They start with a policy that wasn't written right, a conversation that went wrong, or a decision no one thought through. We work on the front end so it doesn't reach a courtroom, and we're ready if it does.

Georgia Employment Law — Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be fired for no reason in Georgia?

Yes, if the reason isn't illegal. At-will employment means Georgia employers don't need a reason. But if the actual reason was discrimination, retaliation, or a violation of specific statutes, the firing may be illegal even if the employer called it "at will."

How long do I have to file an EEOC charge in Georgia?

Generally 180 days from the discrimination for state-law-only claims, and 300 days for claims covered by both federal and Georgia deferral agencies. Missing the deadline usually kills the claim.

Is my non-compete enforceable in Georgia?

Depends on the language, the scope, and whether it fits under Georgia's Restrictive Covenants Act. Overbroad agreements often aren't enforced. Well-drafted agreements often are.

Do I have to accept a severance offer?

No. A severance agreement is a negotiation. Before signing, know what you're waiving, what the release covers, and whether the terms match what your claims are actually worth.
