Employment and Human Resources
The relations between employer and employee are more heavily regulated and have more potential for conflicts than many other areas of business law. We address the unique aspects of each client’s employment issues and craft customized solutions that ensure compliance with federal, state and local labor laws. Unfortunately, even with well-executed preventive measures, agreements and policies, the threat and occurrence of employee claims is always possible. We help employers identify and manage employment litigation risks. We collaborate with our business clients of all sizes to minimize employment disputes and maximize strategic advantages in litigation.
