Our employment law attorneys deal with workplace issues in an ever-changing environment, and seek to minimize the risk of employee lawsuits for our clients.

Our goal is to provide employers with a productive and positive workplace environment.

• Advising on compliance with employment discrimination laws, including the laws on race, gender and age discrimination, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• Drafting work and advice on Affirmative Action Plans
• Advising on Wage and Hour Law compliance

We also handle individual employment matters for employers in the following areas:

• Drafting, negotiating and reviewing employment contracts
• Drafting, negotiating and reviewing severance agreements
• Drafting, negotiating and reviewing covenants not to compete, non-solicitation agreements and confidentiality agreements
• Advising on employee discipline issues
• Advising on the decision to discharge employees and the process for discharging employees
