Employment Litigation

No area of law demands more sensitivity to the possiblity of litigation than employment law. Employers face a growing array of complex legal issues while employees are increasingly empowered by federal, state and local legislation. Jury trials and the prospect of large recoveries for compensatory and punitive damages have emboldened attorneys representing employees. In the last decade, litigation in the employment area—particularly claims of discrimination—has exploded. Whether the issue is discrimination, retaliation, breach of contract, failure to pay overtime, or any other alleged violation of the law, we have successfully defended many clients in state and federal courts, arbitrations, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, local human rights agencies, the Department of Labor and other venues.
