Labor and Employment

Our lawyers have experience in all facets of labor and employment law. We advise clients regarding the employment relationship, including recruiting and hiring practices and procedures, unfair competition, responding to a competitor’s predatory hiring practices, best practices for protecting confidential information, background investigations, privacy, I-9 issues, training, discipline, workplace investigations, and employment separation issues.

We also regularly represent clients through all phases and types of employment litigation, ranging from defending individual charges of discrimination to class and collective actions. The firm represents clients in:

• Defense of administration charges of discrimination before state and federal agencies
• Employment litigation in courts throughout the U.S.
• Labor Disputes, ULPs and Labor Arbitrations
• Management Training
• Restrictive Covenant Litigation – enforcement of non-competition agreements, defense of misappropriation claims
• Strategic employment counseling regarding all aspects of the employment relationship
• Wage and Hour collection action defense work
• Workplace Investigations – including those conducted by the Department of Labor, Department of Justice, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or other state or federal agencies

We recognize that a client’s time and resources are often better spent on employee training and other preventative practices, rather than defending an employment decision in litigation. We apply that principle daily in service to our clients with a goal of providing the most value to each representation.
