Labor and Employment 

Today, employers face a confusing maze of federal, state, and local laws governing their relationships with prospective, current, and former employees. There are regulations about everything from hiring and firing to unique issues posed by ERISA, WARN, COBRA, and OSHA. We know the letter of the law. We can help you ensure compliance and avoid problems and disputes.

Our attorneys don't take an isolated, "ivory tower" approach. They get involved, representing clients' interests everywhere from the floor of the factory to the floor of the courtroom and everywhere in-between. We strive to help clients avoid litigation; however, if litigation can't be avoided, we strive aggressively to prevail. We have the substantive knowledge and trial experience to defend our clients in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies.
