Employment Counseling and Litigation
Helping clients minimize litigation risks is a benchmark of attorneys in this practice group. Our attorneys regularly counsel clients across the country in areas like workplace policies, employee discipline and discharge, reductions-in-force, severance agreements, and compliance with federal laws, including FMLA, Title VII, FLSA, and the ADA, as well as state and local employment laws. Our attorneys represent clients before arbitration panels and administrative agencies and in state and federal courts nationwide relating to all aspects of the employment relationship, including wage and hour claims, wrongful discharge, statutory discrimination and harassment claims, benefits litigation, unfair competition, and trade secret litigation. We have extensive experience in not only single-plaintiff actions but also in defense of collective and class litigation arising out of the employment context.
