Partner
Executive transitions, restrictive covenants, and workplace investigations at senior level.
Lena Ostrowski advises employers and, separately, individual executives — never both in the same matter — on hiring, departure, compensation, and the disputes that follow. She handles the transitions where the terms are contested and the timing is public.
She also conducts workplace investigations at board and senior management level, work she took up after concluding that most such investigations fail for the same two reasons: the scope is written too narrowly to answer the question the board actually has, and the report is drafted before anyone has decided who will read it.
She joined the firm in 2015 and became a partner in 2021. She chairs the firm's associate advancement committee.
Representative Matters
A specialty materials division across nine countries, sold to a private capital buyer with sixty percent of its operations still running on the parent's systems.
A departure that had to be announced, a covenant that had to be enforced, and a business that had to keep its clients through both.
