Employment Law

Employment law covers a complex network of laws that control 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:

  • Breach of non-compete and confidentiality agreements
  • Drug testing
  • Employee benefits
  • Employee privacy
  • Employment discrimination (age, race, sex, religious affiliation, disability)
  • Employment contracts
  • Executive compensation
  • Labor law
  • Sexual harassment
  • Whistleblower cases
  • Workplace violence and safety
  • Wrongful/retaliatory termination

Many of 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 have successfully utilized, and encourage the use of facilitative mediation and arbitration to minimize the time and expense related to resolving employment disputes.
