Employment Litigation

Careful negotiation and documentation of agreements, both at the outset and at the termination of an employment relationship, can help avoid costly employment litigation, and the firm’s attorneys are experienced in the preparation of employment agreements, including those created to protect intellectual property, confidential business information, and good will through non-solicitation agreements, covenants not to compete, non-disclosure agreements, and invention assignment clauses.  As litigators, the firm’s attorneys have extensive experience in the enforcement of these covenants in a wide variety of industries. 

The firm also represents employers and employees in proceedings before administrative agencies and in state and federal courts in all types of employment litigation, including wrongful termination; compensation disputes; claims for workers’ compensation benefits and unemployment benefits; claims of discrimination in employment on account of race, age, or gender; sexual harassment claims; claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act; and employee benefits litigation, including prosecution and defense of claims under ERISA and claims involving ESOP and executive compensation plans.
