Overview

Businesses and non-profit organizations operate well when they are staffed with competent employees, yet state and federal laws regulating employment can be challenging.  Our Employment attorneys assist employers in a broad range of employment-related counseling and contested claims involving discrimination and harassment, federal and state wage and hour matters, employment contracts and compensation, terminations, workforce reductions, employee leaves and workplace safety, including OSHA.

Our employment lawyers also provide employer training and perform workplace investigations.
