PRACTICE AREAS
Labor & Employment
Our Labor & Employment attorneys represent both employers and employees in virtually all workplace-related issues, including discrimination, wrongful termination, sexual harassment, trade secret protection, wage and hour claims and occupational safety and health issues. Our experience in representing employers and employees gives us a unique perspective to assist both groups.
Our attorneys regularly counsel employers on all aspects of labor and employment relations. We advise our clients on a day-to-day basis regarding numerous labor and employment-related issues, including assistance with specific termination or discipline matters.
Much of our work and advice is preventive in nature, conducted with the goal of minimizing or eliminating the employer's exposure to liability and costly litigation. Our primary goal is to use our legal knowledge and experience to assist companies and managers in anticipating and preventing employee-relations problems through education, training and counseling. To further that end, we draft employee handbooks & personnel policies as well as contracts to help reduce misunderstandings and illegal behavior. However, once an issue has arisen, we can handle all phases of dispute resolution.
For the employee, we are highly experienced at evaluating and prosecuting legitimate claims of discrimination, harassment and wage and hour violations. We are at the forefront of current developments in this area.
