We advise clients on all aspects of the employment relationship from hiring to termination, and everything in between. Clients rely on our counsel on day-to-day personnel and employment law issues.
Our employment lawyers are skilled at not only advising clients on litigation avoidance, but in defending against claims of employment discrimination, unlawful harassment, wrongful discharge, and related claims. We represent clients before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO), New York State Division of Human Rights (NYSDHR), New York City Commission on Human Rights (NYCCHR), Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD), and other state and local fair employment practice agencies.
Our lawyers are adept at litigating employment claims in federal and state courts all the way through trial and appeal.
Clients seek our guidance on requests for reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar state and local laws that address disabilities in the workplace.
We help clients navigate the maze of employee leave laws like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and state and local paid family leave laws.
Our attorneys design and assist in the implementation of employee policies and handbooks.
We draft employment agreements, retention agreements, non-competition agreements, intellectual property ownership agreements, and separation agreements. Our group guides clients on best practices in protecting their interests and relationships.
We provide training of employees on employment-related issues, including sex harassment, wage and hour classification, and other types of training.
