Planning Your Moves One Step Ahead
Because of a slow growing local economy, many large verdicts are being entered against small and medium-sized businesses in discrimination and wrongful termination claims. In most instances, the employer does not have insurance to provide defense counsel or to cover the costs of settling any claim. One adverse decision can be fatal to a small business that has been around for decades and has provided good jobs to dozen of local residents. To protect your company from pitfalls and problems associated with such claims, employment law matters must be approached carefully and by counsel with the experience and expertise to provide competent advice.
We work with companies proactively to avoid lawsuits. Whether there are plans for a big layoff or just an individual demotion, we can work to ensure the employer's dismissal determination is for a legitimate and non-discriminatory business reason. We represent clients in a variety of employment law matters, including
- Wrongful termination
- Discrimination matters
- Sexual harassment defense
- Retaliation
When we meet with clients, we provide them the counsel they need to make informed decisions throughout their employment law matter. We explain the risks they are facing and counsel them concerning employee discipline and, when necessary, termination. Learn more about the representation we offer by contacting us online or by calling 413-315-5394.
