Employment Law
Employment litigation and administrative agency cases require specialized knowledge of this fast-developing area. It includes the ability to balance intensity of defense with a sensitivity which will keep the client aware of how an administrative officer or a juror might view the situation.
We handle cases ranging from cutting edge issues of ADA "reasonable accommodation" claims of employees with AIDS, to age discrimination claims, to Family and Medical Leave Act claims, to the more well-known discrimination claims based on sex, age or race. The description of the number and types of actions we have defended is extensive, and has also included hostile environment claims, constructive discharge claims, reverse discrimination and third party claims of harassment. Our practice also includes wrongful discharge claims involving assertions of retaliation for filing worker’s compensation claims, service letter cases, and alleged "whistleblower" claims. Furthermore, discrimination litigation has become all the more challenging from the employer’s perspective with the availability of a jury trial in almost every type of discrimination and wrongful discharge claim.
Our attorneys also represent management in benefits-related claims, such as severance packages, ERISA and COBRA matters. Of course, these arise both independently and in the context of other claims, whether discrimination or the attempted enforcement of an employment agreement. We also handle employment business disputes such as those arising out of covenants not to compete.
