Our roles regularly include training management and employees in best practices, and problem solving when issues arise. Our negotiating and drafting skills are frequently used to create and critique employment contracts, non-competition, confidentiality and non-solicitation agreements as well as severance agreements.
Of course, when called upon to litigate employment related claims, we are ready and able to do so, having successfully prosecuted or defended employment related cases regarding employee safety, wage and hourly claims, and discrimination claims before administrative agencies like the CHRO, Employment Security Division, Department of Labor, OSHA, and in our state, federal and appellate courts.
