We defend both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and municipalities in cases brought in federal or state court, as well as cases before local, state, and federal agencies. We represent a wide range of entities, including financial institutions, educational institutions, security companies, technology companies, healthcare providers, restaurants, retailers, home health and home care, fashion, and media, among others. We also represent employers in industry arbitration and medical staff proceedings. Our litigation experience includes defending employers in employment discrimination and harassment lawsuits, wage and hour claims, family and medical leave claims, wrongful termination and retaliation claims, whistleblower claims, false claims act matters, breach of contract claims, and a variety of business torts.
We have also taken a proactive approach with respect to representing employers whose employees have wrongfully used the employer’s confidential information and trade secrets and who actively solicit employees in violation of the terms of their employment agreement.
We are prepared to litigate any employment matter through trial, but also effectively pursue alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. There are many resolution options available to employers involved in employment disputes and we work closely with our clients to inform them of the pros and cons of these options so that they are comfortable with the decisions they make throughout the process.
