Employment Practices Liability
Our employment litigators have the depth and well-rounded experience, up-to-date knowledge, and resources required to defend management against the full range of workplace suits. We promptly provide sound advice to assess and minimize the risk of adverse outcomes. We develop winning trial strategies, but press for favorable early resolutions. Our attorneys work within budgets to identify and meet client goals. Our clients include some of the Country’s largest insurance carriers, and many self-insured enterprises, ranging from closely-held family businesses having few employees to publicly traded companies. Our clients are service businesses and manufacturers. We have a successful track record before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and in New York State’s corresponding administrative agencies. We routinely litigate in the federal and state trial and appellate courts throughout New York State and around the Country. Our clients trust us with the gamut of employment litigation, including:
- Wrongful discharge and termination claims;
- Whistleblower claims;
- Disability accommodation claims;
- Wage and hour litigation;
- Benefits litigation involving claims for union fund contributions, severance and vacation pay;
- Breach of contract actions;
- Unfair competition, restrictive covenant and trade secrets matters;
- Discrimination and harassment charges; and
- Civil rights claims
