Labor and Employment

For employers, we stay on top of emerging issues and trends in labor and employment so they don’t have to. We train employers and their employees so that they feel confident that they comply with the law. We represent clients in all of the areas in which they may have issues, including the enforcement of non-compete and confidentiality agreements, wage and hour litigation, claims of harassment or discrimination or unlawful retaliation, pay disputes, even unemployment compensation. We draft, review, analyze and update employment contracts, handbooks, and policies.

For employees, we understand that challenging an unfair or illegal employment act can be daunting. We can negotiate severance agreements, analyze whether an individual has a claim and, if so, help them bring a claim for discrimination against their current or former employer, file and prosecute claims for illegal discrimination or harassment or retaliation, help employees figure out whether they have had wages withheld illegally, advise on whether an employer has complied with the FMLA or with wage and hour laws.

Equal Pay Act

Americans With Disabilities Act

Age Discrimination in Employment Act

Title VII (race, gender, religious and national origin discrimination)
