Practice/Industry Group Overview
Navigating the intricacies of the ever-changing federal and state laws and regulations that impact the workplace can be difficult, and non-compliance carries the risk of costly employment litigation and government penalties. At Baker Hostetler, we work proactively with our clients to help them establish effective practices and policies and understand how the numerous statutes, regulations, codes and ordinances that govern the workplace affect their business.
Our skilled lawyers partner with clients to provide creative solutions that address their day-to-day workplace issues. Our lawyers have experience both as in-house counsel and with a number of regulatory agencies, providing us with critical insight into offering our clients effective human resources solutions which helps reduce their risk.
We counsel clients on the full scope of workplace issues including:
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
- The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Title VII
- Workers' Compensation
- Unemployment Compensation
- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
- Immigration
- Reductions in Force (RIF)
- Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)
- Affirmative Action and OFCCP Compliance
Our attorneys know which federal, state and local laws apply to businesses nationwide. We conduct on-site compliance reviews, provide management training and work with companies to develop compliance programs. We also provide legal counsel and representation to clients found to be noncompliant. We represent clients before governmental agencies and boards and work out programs to bring them into compliance.
Our employment counsel to clients helps reduce the risk of costly litigation.
