Employment Liability

The Americans with Disabilities Act, Family Medical Leave Act, drug testing, retaliatory discharge, sexual harassment, and age, racial, sexual and many other forms of discrimination are but a few of the complex, diverse and expensive issues facing the employer in today's society. Our attorneys have substantial experience in evaluating and defending these claims on behalf of employers and insurance carriers before administrative judges and civil courts.

We also stress innovative, cost-efficient means of case resolution, including various forms of mediation, the early use of dispositive motions as a means of effective settlement leverage, and combination settlement packages that include employee resignations.

We work as a team with the employer and insurance carrier to reduce the costs associated with employee labor claims. We quickly and efficiently resolve lawsuits and claims at an early stage or litigate from the inception of a claim and through the appellate process, if required.

We also work closely with many companies and carriers in investigating claims during the early stages, before litigation is pursued, to reduce the potential exposure and associated legal expense.
