Biography

A South Carolina certified specialist in employment law, David E. Rothstein has fought for employees in legal battles with businesses large and small, as well as with public employers. He represents hourly workers, executives, managers, and licensed professionals.

With more than 30 years’ experience, David represents clients in a full range of employment law issues. This includes wage and overtime pay issues, harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. If a business retaliates against a worker who makes a complaint or files a lawsuit or worker’s compensation claim, David also helps workers fight this unjust and illegal treatment.

He also stands ready to assist employees in contract negotiations and disputes, including non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, and severance agreements.

He works to protect the careers of professionals who are facing disciplinary or licensing issues before the various professional boards and commissions of the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation. David also represents medical professionals, including doctors, in contract issues, partnership or shareholder disputes, and separation agreements.

He also practices qui tam law, representing clients in whistleblower actions under the federal False Claims Act aimed at exposing government corruption and fraud.
