Employment Claims and Labor Relations

We help companies prevent and, when required, defend against the ever-increasing array of claims that employees bring against their employers. Our attorneys have decades of experience in employment law, including both law firm experience and service as in-house employment law counsel with Fortune 500 companies.

Just by way of example, we have substantial experience in sexual harassment matters, overtime requirements, discrimination claims, retaliation claims, and ADA, FMLA, and OSHA issues. We are regularly retained to defend employment practices claims covered under various Employment Practices Liability, Directors & Officers, and Errors & Omissions insurance policies, and we serve as monitoring counsel on behalf of insurance carriers and Third Party Administrators involved in the defense of these claims. We provide compliance advice in all aspects of the employment relationship. We negotiate and draft sophisticated employment agreements, including compensation, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, and intellectual property provisions.

As always, prevention is our hallmark. We operate Counsel Consulting Group, LLC, a training and consulting firm that focuses on the prevention of employment-related compliance issues and claims. CCG performs legal audits, provides management and employee training (in person and through e-learning), and develops and implements forms and procedures that companies can use to incorporate preventive practices into the fabric of their daily business activities.
