Experienced Legal Counsel on Employment Issues

The realm of employment law is filled with potential liability. Litigation is costly, and the stakes are often high in employment litigation matters. Our firm offers experienced legal counsel on employment issues. In addition to employment litigation, we also advise boards on day-to-day employment matters and developing areas of the law. Our firm has experience guiding boards and managers in the following matters:

  • Hiring practices

  • Termination decisions

  • Employee handbooks

  • Wage & hour disputes

  • Wrongful termination

  • Drug testing

  • Background investigations

  • Workplace violence

  • Sexual harassment

  • ADA compliance

  • Discrimination claims

Employee Handbooks

One practical and proactive step our clients can take is implementing an employee handbook.  We prepare employee handbooks and review existing policies with the goal of reducing and preventing costly litigation before it occurs by addressing wage-hour practices, sexual harassment, poor performance, discipline and discharge issues, leaves of absence, disability issues, drugs, and alcohol testing, email policies, and workplace violence.

 

Risk Analysis. We provide employers with litigation risk analysis in order to facilitate the resolution of disputed employment matters before the defense costs escalate and expectations become unrealistic.
