Employment & Labor

Foulston Siefkin's Employment and Labor lawyers advise and represent employers in the full range of issues arising from the employment relationship. The firm's diverse clientele includes private and public sector employers of all sizes, from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and non-profit organizations. Our lawyers regularly defend wrongful and retaliatory discharge claims and race, age, gender, and disability discrimination claims at the administrative level and in state and federal courts. We assist employers with OSHA investigations and citations, Department of Labor audits, and wage claims under state and federal wage and hour laws.

In addition to advocacy, a significant portion of our practice is dedicated to providing clients with accurate and practical employment advice, with the goal of avoiding litigation. We regularly advise management and human resources professionals, provide practical management training, and assist in implementing appropriate employee handbooks, other policies and procedures, and affirmative action and EEO plans. Our labor lawyers have considerable experience in responding to union organizing efforts, representing employers in unfair labor practice proceedings, and negotiating collective bargaining agreements.
