Employment Law
Employment law encompasses a complex network of laws that
controls how employers must treat employees, former employees,
and applicants for employment. We represent private and public
sector employers in all aspects of the employer/employee relationship,
from pre-hire to post-termination. Our attorneys have significant
experience in interpreting and construing state and federal
statutes and case law in areas involving employment discrimination,
affirmative action, sexual harassment, employee benefits,
whistleblower, wrongful discharge, employment contracts, defamation,
invasion of privacy, breach of non-compete and confidentiality
agreements, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Worker Adjustment
and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), the Federal Employer's
Liability Act (FELA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA), administrative claims filed with the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and special laws governing
municipal employment. Our goal is to provide sound, practical
and proactive legal advice in order to assist our clients
in avoiding litigation and other adversarial proceedings.
We encourage the use of, and have successfully utilized, facilitative
mediation and arbitration to minimize the time and expense
related to resolving employment disputes.
