Employment
Today’s employers and managers operate in an increasingly regulated and complex arena. While the primary goal of any employer is to create a skilled and productive workforce, workplace issues and employee complaints have generated an unprecedented number of lawsuits. Employment litigation has tripled in the past decade to more than one-third of all lawsuits filed in the federal courts of the United States. We develop long-term relationships with our business clients to provide them with excellent, timely counseling. Our experienced team of litigators works with our clients to provide efficient, responsive guidance throughout the entire litigation process.

Counseling
Employers often need to pick up the telephone and get an immediate answer to important employment questions. Employers need access to their counsel, and our employment attorneys pride themselves on being quickly responsive to employer’s questions. Quality counseling is an effective tool in preventing or mitigating problems that otherwise could lead to litigation.
Litigation
When employers are faced with litigation, they need seasoned attorneys who have real trial experience and a practical approach to litigation. Our employment attorneys can work with you through each step of the litigation process to help you make the right decisions.
Discrimination Investigations
Employers may need to conduct an internal investigation of discrimination complaints. Such investigations need to be thorough and handled properly in the context of the corporate environment. Our attorneys are familiar with dealing with executives and human resource departments. We can conduct an investigation that is thorough, responsive, efficient, and effective.
Employee Handbooks and Related Documentation
A well-crafted employee handbook is not only useful to employees; it is an effective tool for an employer. A well-written handbook can be effective in barring employee lawsuits. However, there is no “one size fits all” form of handbook. Working carefully with employers, we can effectively and efficiently craft an employment handbook. Also, regular review and updates to handbooks are strongly advised.
Various state and federal agencies require the regular filing of documentation regarding employees. We can help you and your human resource department ensures compliance with federal and state requirements.
