Areas of Practice
counseling and advising employers
We advise clients on day-to-day employment matters involving all aspects of federal, state, and local law. We also help clients proactively implement and administer best practices and policies. We have extensive experience drafting and reviewing personnel policies, handling hiring and termination issues, and advising on a range of other matters, including leaves of absence, wage and hour requirements, non-competition agreements, employee misconduct, performance counseling, and corporate downsizing.
employment discrimination, wrongful termination and related tort claims
Our lawyers provide sound, practical advice to help clients avoid legal conflicts. When faced with litigation in federal or state court, we assist clients by evaluating the claims, by weighing the options available for responding, and by providing efficient and effective representation. Our vast experience representing clients spans a range of proceedings and causes of action, including administrative claims before the EEOC, the Department of Labor, the NLRB, and state and local human rights agencies.
EMPLOYMENT contracts and
non-competition / non-solicitation agreements
We regularly draft and review employment contracts for executives, non-competition / non-solicitation agreements, confidentiality agreements, and non-disclosure agreements. The firm also has extensive experience drafting and reviewing incentive compensation agreements and commission plans. In addition, our lawyers regularly litigate claims involving breach of an employee's duty of loyalty, trade secret theft, and breach of non-competition covenants.
labor relations
Firm lawyers have substantial experience advising and representing employers of all sizes regarding union representation campaigns, collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations, labor arbitrations, and proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board.
employee benefits and Executive compensation
We assist clients in designing and implementing compensation and benefit arrangements ranging from qualified retirement plans and deferred compensation plans to health and welfare programs and equity awards. We work closely with our clients’ HR, legal, tax, financial and benefits professionals to ensure that the company’s benefit programs not only comply with the labyrinth of technical legal requirements under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, but also meet the employer’s overall business and employee relations goals.
management training
In today’s workplace, training Human Resources and other professionals to recognize and address employment matters as they arise on a daily basis is more important than ever. We constantly adapt our training programs for HR teams and managers to address the evolving realities of the workplace. Our training focuses on effectively managing and counseling employees, preventing and addressing sexual harassment, conducting workplace investigations, and documenting workplace issues. We also provide training to managers on employee benefits issues, including fiduciary responsibility, HIPAA medical privacy and security, fee disclosure rules, and 409A deferred compensation.
