Employment Litigation and Dispute Resolution
We are committed to finding practical solutions to HR issues that meet our clients’ business objectives. We work closely with clients to anticipate and plan for potential trouble spots and to resolve problems before they get out of control. When disputes do arise, we vigorously pursue our clients’ interests in the courtroom or, where appropriate, through arbitration, mediation and other creative methods of dispute resolution.
When disputes cannot or should not be resolved through alternative means, we aggressively defend our clients in employment-related litigation. We litigators regularly represent employers in all phases of what is commonly referred to as "employment litigation." This includes the investigation and handling of charges before federal, state and municipal agencies as well as all aspects of the defense of a lawsuit in state or federal court. We handle the full scope of employment litigation and claims, including:
- Discrimination claims under federal, state and local discrimination laws, e.g., Title VII, ADA, ADEA
- Wrongful termination
- Whistle blowing
- State common law contract and tort claims
- Compliance issues and claims under Federal employment statutes, such as FLSA, FMLA, NLRA, OSHA, ERISA, OWBPA, COBRA, HIPAA, IRCA, OFCCP, WARN, and claims under equivalent state statutes
- Restrictive covenants (including non-compete agreements)
- Compensation disputes
