Our attorneys are highly experienced employment law practitioners with decades of HR and employment law experience. Managing employees is one of the most rewarding and challenging aspects of running a business. Employment laws are constantly evolving, and even well-meaning employers can face costly disputes if policies or practices fall short of compliance. Our attorneys partner with business owners and HR teams to provide proactive legal guidance that minimizes risk, promotes compliance, and fosters a productive workplace.
Prevention begins with understanding where your business stands. We conduct thorough audits of workplace policies and practices to identify gaps, ensure compliance, and implement strategies that protect your company from potential liability.
Our audits include:
• Reviewing employee handbooks and workplace policies
• Evaluating wage and hour practices for compliance with state and federal law
• Assessing classification of employees and independent contractors
• Identifying areas vulnerable to discrimination or harassment claims
When workplace issues arise, prompt and effective action can prevent the circumstances from escalating into legal disputes. We guide employers in resolving conflicts and conducting internal investigations that are thorough, impartial, and legally defensible.
We assist with:
• Employee complaints regarding discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation
• Disciplinary actions and performance management concerns
• Workplace disputes between employees and/or management
• Documentation to support employment decisions
Clear, consistent policies provide the foundation for effective management and defense against legal claims. We draft customized policies and handbooks that reflect your business’s unique needs while complying with state and federal regulations.
Our services include:
• Drafting and updating employee handbooks
• Creating policies addressing leave, benefits, and workplace safety
• Developing codes of conduct and anti-harassment policies
• Training managers and supervisors on policy enforcement
