Labor and Employment
Counsel for employers, executives, and HR teams across the lifecycle of the employment relationship — from hiring and policy work through discrimination defense, labor relations, and the litigation that follows when prevention falls short.
A Workplace Is Never
Just Compliance
The employment relationship is where law touches the most people, the most often. A handbook update reaches every employee. A discrimination claim reshapes a team. A wage-and-hour ruling changes the math on every payroll going forward. Our role is to give employers counsel that fits those stakes — clear advice managers can actually use, programs that hold up to scrutiny, and defense that matches the seriousness of what's on the table.
From benefits design and labor negotiations through OSHA compliance and discrimination litigation, we treat employment law as one continuous program — because the same workforce, policies, and supervisors live with every part of it.
What Distinguishes
Our Employment Practice
Three principles guide how we work with employers and the HR teams running the day-to-day — and how we measure whether we've actually served you well.
Plain-English Counsel
Employment advice fails if a manager can't act on it. We write and counsel in the language of operations — clear recommendations, clean checklists, defensible decisions — so HR and frontline supervisors have what they need before the situation escalates.
Risk-Calibrated Programs
A unionized manufacturer and a hybrid software company face different employment risks even when the law is the same. We size policies, training, and audits to your actual workforce — not to a generic template that no one inside the business recognizes.
Resolved, Not Just Adjudicated
Fewer lawsuits is the actual goal. We resolve matters early when we can, defend hard when we must, and measure success by what the workforce looks like after the matter closes — not by how loudly the case was fought.
Capabilities Across
the Employment Lifecycle
From hiring and benefits design through discrimination defense, labor negotiations, and workplace-safety audits — counsel built around how employers actually run a workforce.
Employee Benefits
ERISA, retirement plans, health and welfare programs, and the disability and benefit designs that keep employees covered while keeping the program compliant with federal and state requirements.
Employment Discrimination
Defense and counsel on Title VII, ADA, ADEA, and state-law discrimination claims — from EEOC charges through trial — paired with the policy and training work that reduces exposure on the front end.
Labor Relations
NLRA counsel, union organizing campaigns, collective bargaining, and labor-dispute representation — focused on building working labor-management relationships, not just winning the next ULP.
Workplace Safety
OSHA compliance programs, safety audits, citation defense, and post-incident counsel — keeping workplaces safe and keeping the regulatory consequences of an incident from cascading into the business.
Wage & Hour / Classification
FLSA and state wage-and-hour counsel, exempt-versus-nonexempt classification reviews, independent-contractor analysis, and defense in the class and collective actions that follow when classification goes sideways.
Executive Compensation & Restrictive Covenants
Employment agreements, equity and bonus structures, severance and separation negotiations, and the enforcement and defense of non-competes, non-solicits, and confidentiality covenants.
