EMPLOYMENT

We provide a wide range of legal services for our business clients relating to employment matters.  We advise business clients on matters relating to such things as hiring, termination, compensation, employment contracts, independent contractor agreements, severance agreements, legal compliance, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, trade secret protection, drug and alcohol policies, employment handbooks, employee discipline, discrimination and wrongful discharge claims, wage claims and other employment related matters.

We know that often, our business clients are consumed with the day-to-day tasks of running their business, and it is often easy to overlook small employment matters that, if not addressed properly at the outset or resolved quickly after an issue arises, will turn into major problems. We strive to help our business clients identify issues so that they do not become problems and where problems do exist to solve them before they become major drains on the time and resources of the business.

Employment Transactions

We assist our individual clients and small business clients in all kinds of transactional matters, including hiring, termination and severance matters and the drafting and reviewing of the necessary contracts, disclosure documents, and agreements.

Employment Litigation

If you or your business is involved in an employment dispute, we will help get it resolved, either through a negotiated settlement, mediation, arbitration or litigation.  We are experienced trial lawyers with the skill and experience to prepare compelling cases.  We can assist with all kinds of actions such as wage claims, discrimination claims, wrongful discharge claims, breach of employment contract claims, partner / shareholder disputes,  violation of non-compete agreements, and misappropriation of business valuation theft of trade secrets.
