Firm Practice
Employment Disputes

We have successfully resolved a wide variety of workplace disputes through pre-lawsuit negotiation as well as through trials and appeals to the highest level. We counsel employers and employees through all phases of employment, from hiring to discipline to termination, and from developing policies and handbooks to counseling managers through situations carrying the threat of a lawsuit. Our lawyers have tried discrimination and employment contract breach cases in state and federal court, before judges and juries. We have also defended clients during EEOC investigations and mediations. We have obtained or defended against emergency injunctive relief connected with agreements not to compete and trade secret protection.

Our employment practice covers, among other things: discrimination charges before administrative agencies such as the EEOC and before state and federal courts; severance negotiation and contract litigation; injunctive relief based on noncompetition and confidentiality covenants; counsel for compliance with workplace laws; development of employee policies and procedures; overtime pay review; and anti-harassment seminars for managers.
