Labor and Employment Attorneys

Today's businesses face myriad laws and regulations governing the employer/employee relationship, all of which create a rapidly changing and uncertain environment for owners, managers and in-house legal counsel.  While you may be more familiar with laws like state or federal equal-employment and disability-discrimination laws or the Family & Medical Leave Act, others, such as the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, HIPAA, OSHA, workers compensation, and COBRA, are often less well-known or even misunderstood.  Yet, they all affect how you do business and also create legal liability if not properly applied.

Our attorneys represent employers daily by providing timely and practical advice, and also defending employers before numerous administrative agencies and the courts.  We are dedicated to developing practical and innovative solutions to your labor and employment law issues.  We do this through consultation, litigation avoidance training, and representation in the following areas:
