Even the most careful employers may face lawsuits from current or former employees. Employment litigation can involve significant financial risk, damage to reputation, and disruption to your operations. Our attorneys defend employers in all aspects of employment-related litigation, combining aggressive advocacy with practical strategies to resolve disputes efficiently and protect your business interests.
Employers are often targeted with claims of unlawful treatment in the workplace. We provide vigorous defense against these allegations while ensuring your company complies with state and federal anti-discrimination laws.
We defend claims involving:
• Race, gender, age, disability, religion, and other protected classes
• Sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims
• Retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting workplace misconduct
• Failure to provide reasonable accommodations under ADA and related laws
Wage and hour lawsuits can quickly become costly, especially in cases involving multiple employees or class actions. We help employers respond effectively while ensuring compliance with complex wage laws.
Our services include defense of claims involving:
• Overtime and minimum wage violations
• Misclassification of employees and independent contractors
• Off-the-clock work and unpaid breaks
• Meal and rest period violations under state laws
Terminations often give rise to litigation, particularly when contracts or workplace policies are involved. We defend employers against wrongful termination suits and enforce their rights under employment agreements.
We handle cases involving:
• Wrongful discharge and constructive termination claims
• Breach of employment contracts
• Enforcement of non-compete and confidentiality agreements
• Disputes arising from severance agreements
Employment disputes often begin with government agency investigations. We represent employers before state and federal agencies to minimize liability and prevent escalation into lawsuits.
We represent employers before each of the following:
• Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
• Department of Labor (DOL)
• State human rights commissions and labor boards
We understand the challenges of running a business and tailor our defense strategies accordingly.
We seek early dismissals or favorable settlements when appropriate to save time and resources.
