Human Resources Counseling

As experienced and skilled litigators in the employment law field, our lawyers pride themselves on being readily available to their clients and regularly advise employers with respect to all aspects of the employment relationship, including:

• drafting employee handbooks and personnel policies and procedures;
• consulting employers on matters of hiring, discipline, and discharge;
• preparing employment, confidentiality, non-competition, and separation agreements and releases;
• implementing alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms, such as mediation or arbitration, as an alternative to litigation;
• addressing discrimination and harassment issues;
• counseling employers on employee leave rights, accommodation, and other disability issues; and
• advising clients on other employee matters, including privacy, drug and alcohol testing, background and credit checks, and threats of violence in the workplace.

Our lawyers endeavor to educate and ensure that employers comply with the myriad of laws and regulations governing the employment relationship, and we work closely with our clients to develop effective preventative strategies to avoid litigation.
