Solutions For Problems In Employment Law
Employment law for employers is often about preventing problems before they arise. Our lawyers serve mostly smaller to midsize businesses that want to avoid the distraction and expense of litigation.
We assist in developing policies and procedures while training managers to avoid behaviors that can be construed as discriminatory or create a hostile work environment.
We represent employers in both litigation and administrative inquiries. With some clients, we effectively serve as in-house counsel on human resources matters, addressing problems as they arise.
Employers constitute about one-fourth of our employment law clients.
Employment Law For Employees
Employment law for employees is a bigger part of our practice. We represent and litigate cases for employees who have been subject to discrimination and retaliation in the workplace.
We also negotiate and review employment contracts for executives and professionals, including representing employees in lawsuits brought to enforce noncompete and nonsolicitation agreements as well as trade secrets.
We advise employees regarding their rights under the FMLA, the FLSA, and other state and federal employment laws. Our clients include executives, managers, professionals, CPAs, physicians, and other health care providers and sales representatives.
