She also serves as counsel for high level, executive employees related to covenants not to compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality agreements, and executive compensation matters as they arise before, during, and after the separation of employment.\r\n<p>\r\nRecently, Nicole provided ongoing strategic advice and representation over an extended period of time to a group seeking to purchase Maine’s newspapers and online services including the Portland Press Herald, the Morning Sentinel and Kennebec Journal.

With Nicole’s assistance, MaineToday Media, Inc. entered into new collective bargaining agreements with the unions and completed its purchase of the print and on-line media entities in June of 2009.

Over the course of three years, Nicole and partner Terry Garmey tried the case to a verdict of $4.2 million for her client, and successfully argued the case on two levels of appeal – one before the federal First Circuit Court of Appeals and one before the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.

Additionally, as was the case in Brown v. Crown, when a verdict is rendered in favor of Nicole’s client – the injured or deceased employee - the employer may obtain substantial reimbursement of its workers’ compensation payments made to the employee or his/her beneficiary due to the injury or death.
