LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT
Our firm handles numerous matters arising under both federal and state employment laws. These cases include claims under federal discrimination statutes, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. We also defend clients against claims arising under state law, such as claims for wrongful discharge, for breach of employment contract or for violation of noncompetition covenants.
An important part of our employment and labor work is counseling businesses about practices designed to reduce claims of employment discrimination, wrongful discharge or unfair labor practices and to effect compliance with the myriad of state and federal laws now regulating the workplace. We also counsel employers involved in employee representation elections, collective bargaining negotiations and grievance arbitrations.
