We never lose sight of the fact that our most important job is working with clients to solve day-to-day problems that arise in the workplace. We translate legal and practical expertise into realistic steps for our clients to take. We help clients solve tough problems in a manner that minimizes potential liability and makes good business sense. We think of it in terms of value. Our clients value the confidence they feel when an attorney from our firm works on their behalf. Our clients value our vigilance and attention to detail, as well as our commitment to be available when they need us, to complete their work on time, and to be responsive when a problem arises.

Our labor and employment law attorneys advise management on all aspects of the employment relationship, including:

Human Resources Policies and Practices
We routinely audit our clients’ policies and practices from recruitment through termination. We also help our clients find creative and practical ways to take proactive steps to avoid litigation. Our clients can rest easy with the knowledge that their employment practices have been reviewed by a firm that works in this area of the law every day of the year.

Employee Handbooks
Lawyers in our Firm have prepared and reviewed literally thousands of employee handbooks. We understand that your handbook must represent your company and be designed in a way that not only is legally sound, but also reflects your company’s values. Our lawyers work with clients every day in creating ways to use employee handbooks as a tool to motivate employees and create practices and procedures to benefit your company.

Supervisor Training
Our clients’ supervisors and managers are on the front lines and face problems first. We routinely offer supervisory training on virtually any topic related to employment and labor relations. Popular topics include documentation, discipline and discharge, avoiding harassment and discrimination claims, hiring and interviewing, team building, communication, and employee motivation. We work with our clients to identify those areas in which we can help build a management team that is equipped to deal with the issues they face daily.

Investigations
We know that investigations into claims of sexual harassment and other allegations of wrongdoing can be tricky and fraught with legal pitfalls. We specialize in guiding our clients through these difficult issues in a manner that ensures that you are in the best position to avoid litigation.

Discipline, Terminations, Layoffs
We routinely evaluate personnel actions such as discharges and layoffs for litigation potential and the chances of effectiveness. We have some of the most experienced attorneys in issues such as corporate downsizing, federal notice requirements under the WARN Act, and issues associated with employee benefits.
