Protecting Employees, Executives & Their Rights

When your livelihood, benefits, or reputation are on the line, you need more than general legal advice — you need a team that understands the nuances of employment law and the complexities of ERISA. At Marcellino & Tyson, we help employees, executives, and professionals across North Carolina navigate workplace disputes, benefit denials, and contractual obligations with clarity, strategy, and strength.
Our employment and ERISA attorneys fight to ensure you’re treated fairly — in the workplace, in the boardroom, and by your benefits provider.

ERISA Claims

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) governs employer-provided benefit plans, including long-term disability, short-term disability, life insurance, and health coverage. When benefits are unfairly denied, delayed, or terminated, our attorneys step in to hold insurance companies accountable.

We assist with:

1). Denied disability claims
2). Improper benefit terminations
3). Appeals of long-term or short-term disability decisions
4). Life and health insurance claim denial
5). ERISA litigation in federal court

We understand the internal appeals process and federal litigation rules — and we have the experience to push back against powerful insurance companies.

Long-Term & Short-Term Disability Claims

When illness or injury prevents you from working, disability benefits should provide financial security. Unfortunately, insurers often prioritize profits over people. If your claim has been denied or underpaid, we can help.

We handle all stages of LTD and STD claims, including:

1). Gathering medical evidence
2). Appealing denials
3). Negotiating lump-sum settlements
4). Filing federal ERISA lawsuits when necessary

We’re here to be your advocate while you focus on your health and recovery.

Executive Compensation Agreements

High-level employment often comes with complex compensation packages, including bonuses, equity, severance, and restrictive covenants. Our attorneys advise executives and professionals on negotiating, reviewing, and enforcing their compensation agreements.

We provide strategic counsel on:

1). Severance negotiations
2). Deferred compensation plans
3). Equity awards and buyouts
4). Golden parachutes
5). Restrictive clauses (non-competes, non-solicits, confidentiality)

We make sure your agreement reflects your value — and protects your future.

Health Insurance Claim Disputes

If your employer-sponsored health insurance denies coverage for necessary treatments, procedures, or medications, you may have legal options under ERISA or state law. We advocate for individuals wrongfully denied coverage and work to reverse improper decisions.

We help with:

1). Appeals of health insurance denials
2). Coverage disputes involving surgeries, therapies, or out-of-network care
3). ERISA-related health plan litigation

We understand how to cut through red tape and get results when your health and finances are at stake.

Employee Contracts & Non-Competes

Whether you’re starting a new job or exiting a company, employment contracts can carry long-term legal consequences. Our attorneys provide expert guidance on employment agreements and restrictive covenants, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations.

We help clients with:

1). Employment contract review and negotiation
2). Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
3). Breach of contract claims
4). Trade secret and confidentiality enforcement

We also defend professionals who are being wrongfully accused of violating non-competes or contractual obligations.
