We provide day-to-day advice on a range of employment matters: the discipline and discharge of employees, review and preparation of employee handbooks and policy manuals and negotiation of employment contracts and separation agreements. Clients often request advice on issues such as immigration law, affirmative action programs, and compliance requirements.

When litigation is unavoidable, we represent management and employees in claims of wrongful discharge (including breach of contract, defamation, emotional distress, and whistle-blower actions), all forms of discrimination (such as age, race, sex, disability, and religion), and sexual harassment. We are experienced in handling employment matters in state and federal courts as well as before local, state, and federal agencies. We also provide representation to clients with federal and state regulatory matters involving wage-hour issues, health and safety, ERISA, and unemployment compensation.

We are experienced in the drafting of non-compete agreements, and representing our business clients in actions to prevent unfair competition, trade secret misappropriation, and violation of non-compete and confidentiality agreements by former employees.
