The Rival and the Rescue​

Elena Carter left Daybreak Law Firm with two case files tucked under her arm—one being the high-stakes mass layoff case against Nathan Sterling, the other an urgent labor arbitration hearing in three days.

The layoff case could wait. Three hundred employees versus Sterling Capital's legal team would require meticulous preparation, but negotiations weren't scheduled for another week. The arbitration case demanded immediate attention.

Elena skimmed through the arbitration materials that evening, confident in her assessment—with current labor laws favoring employees, this should be straightforward.
