Employment Law

Employment law covers a complex network of laws that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. We have significant experience interpreting and applying state and federal statutes and case law in areas involving:

• Employment discrimination
• Affirmative action
• Sexual harassment
• Employee benefits
• Whistleblower cases
• Wrongful-retaliatory termination
• Drug testing
• Employee privacy
• Employment contracts
• Workplace violence and safety
• Breach of non-compete and confidentiality agreements

Our cases involve application of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), the Federal Employer’s Liability Act (FELA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), administrative claims filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and special laws governing municipal employment. We encourage the use of, and have successfully utilized facilitative mediation and arbitration to minimize the time and expense related to resolving employment disputes.
