Labor and Employment Law

As part of our full-service offerings to businesses and nonprofit organizations of all sizes, our experienced employment lawyers can help you and your business to navigate federal, state, and local labor and employment laws, creating best practices for your company and reducing risks of liability — including staving off potential government fines, penalties, or extensive damages from costly lawsuits filed by current or former disgruntled employees.

Our labor and employment services include:

Employment Compliance Counseling: We work with businesses of all sizes, helping your company to comply with the rapidly changing federal and state labor and employment laws, as well as federal regulations governing anti-discrimination, wage and hour requirements, reasonable accommodations for disability, paid leave laws, and compliance with federal and state Whistleblower statutes, among other hot topics of employment law impacting businesses today. We can draft your employee handbooks, revise your employment contracts, commission agreements, and onboarding documents, and provide a framework within which to operate your business, leaving you secure in the knowledge that you are labor and employment law compliant, and thus, can have peace of mind in running your business.
Employer Defense. Sometimes the best proactive efforts cannot guarantee that an employee or group of employees won’t file a lawsuit or a complaint against you and your business. If faced with an employee’s (or group of employees’) lawsuits or claims — or an EEOC or US Department of Labor or NY or NJ Department of Labor audit, inquiry or investigation — our clients call us for experienced and committed litigators who will fiercely advocate for and protect you and your business. We will defend you and your company in the federal or state courts, or in arbitration proceedings, Department of Labor hearings, audits, and inquiries, and in any adversarial proceeding. Our litigation team is responsive to your needs, fully-immersed in your business, and works at a competitive price point to protect you from costly and devastating economic damages that can happen if you don’t have a solid employment law defense team in your corner.
Employment & HR Consulting Services. We work with clients on an as-needed basis, offering training, human resources support, advice on sensitive employment matters such as reductions in force, sensitive terminations, proper classification of employees and independent contractors, and other labor and employment related matters for which you need wise counsel and guidance. We work with all of our clients on a flexible basis, working out payment arrangements that offer the services you need at an affordable price.
