General Employment Advice
Our employment law attorneys are dedicated to helping employers become more proactive in employment law-related matters to prevent legal issues before they arise. Some of the areas for which we provide counseling include developing and drafting affirmative action plans, employee handbooks, executive termination agreements, employee benefits plans, personnel policies, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, worker evaluation systems, early retirement programs, restrictive covenants, employment contracts, and employee drug and alcohol testing programs.
Other areas of expertise include conducting employment law audits, plant closings, mass layoffs, reductions in force, internal corporate investigations of sexual harassment and discrimination claims, and due diligence reviews of employment law liabilities in corporate acquisitions.
Our counseling advice has also focused on wage and hour issues, employee privacy rights, employment-related tax issues, family and medical leave matters, unionizing efforts, terminations, leave of absence policies, workers' compensation, safeguarding trade secrets and intellectual property, insurance coverage for employment law claims, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms for resolving employee grievances and legal claims. |
