Employment-related issues often play a
crucial role in the success of today's organizations. Our Employment Practice
counsels clients on the broad range of issues involved in employment law, labor
law, employee relations and employee benefits.
Clients rely
on our advice and assistance regarding day-to-day personnel management matters.
We provide training to supervisory and human resources personnel. Our approach
emphasizes preventative strategies and practical approaches to help clients
achieve their objectives.
When disputes
arise, our attorneys have the experience to effectively advance our clients'
interests. We represent clients before the numerous federal, state and local
administrative agencies and federal and state courts that enforce employment
and labor laws, as well as in arbitrations and other dispute resolution
proceedings.
Our Employment
attorneys regularly call upon our Employee Benefits/ERISA Team to advise
clients on the design, implementation and maintenance of employee benefit plans
in compliance with ERISA and other laws. Our attorneys work closely with the
Firm's Business Law and Employee Benefits Practices to address the many
complex employment, labor and employee benefit issues arising in commercial
transactions.
