Practice Areas & Industries: Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC

Practice/Industry Group Overview

Long before ">discrimination suits are filed, employers take critical steps that will be closely scrutinized during ">defense of those suits.  Development and implementation of policies in accordance with the multitude of ">federal and ">state ">employment laws is one of the most important steps in litigation ">avoidance and in procuring victory when employment lawsuits are lodged.  ">Training supervisory and ">management ">employees with respect to the laws and policies with which they will be expected to ensure compliance is also critical.  In fact, the ">United States Supreme Court has clearly stated on multiple occasions that employers simply can not successfully defend discrimination ">claims without proof that they have developed and implemented appropriate policies and conducted relevant supervisor training.

The Firm's ">Labor & ">Employment Group has extensive experience in the development of employer-specific policy manuals and in the ">presentation of practical, interesting and interactive ">training on a variety of ">employment law topics.  In-depth training programs have been developed on the topics of drug-free workplace, the Family and Medical ">Leave Act, workplace ">harassment and ">discrimination prevention, union ">avoidance, employee evaluations and ">discipline, just to ">name a few.  Further, our ">attorneys can create an employer-specific training program on any area of employment law based on employer need.
