LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT LAW

Our Labor and Employment attorneys represent management in all aspects of the employer-employee relationship, including:

  • General human resources matters
  • Equal employment opportunity issues
  • Employment and severance terms
  • Covenants not to compete
  • Trade secret litigation
  • Traditional labor/management relations
  • Occupational safety and health
  • Workers’ compensation
  • Immigration
  • Unemployment compensation

    Our attorneys are trial lawyers who routinely defend employers in federal and state courts regionally and throughout the country. We have been particularly successful in winning cases on summary judgment before cases go to trial.

    We regularly advise clients on compliance with federal and state regulations, including family and medical leave and wage and hour laws. We also coordinate union avoidance campaigns, defend unfair labor practice charges, and arbitrate labor disputes. To learn more about our Labor Relations Team, click here.

    We emphasize counseling to avoid liability through constructive human resource methods. In addition to advising employers on statutory compliance, our attorneys prepare:

  • Employee handbooks
  • Personnel policies
  • Employment contracts
  • Noncompetition agreements
  • Confidentiality agreements
  • Arbitration agreements
  • Severance agreements
  • WARN Act notices (for plant closings and mass layoffs)
