Parting from the understanding that all employees have the right to make a decent living by earning fair wages in a safe environment, and that employers have the right to seek efficiency and maximization of profits, this firm helps both maneuver the growing complexities of today’s workplace regulations.
We routinely participate in employee seminars in order to inform laborers of their workplace rights. Additionally, we counsel employers on compliance with federal, state, and local labor laws with the goal of increasing employee efficiency while minimizing their litigation risk. We routinely counsel our clients with the following matters:
- Compliance with wage and hour regulations
- Family Medical Leave Act
- New York City Earned Sick Time Act
- Preparation of employee handbooks and policies
- Employee benefits
- Employment contracts
- Non-disclosure agreements
- Separation and severance arrangements
When preventative measures have failed to keep our clients out of harm’s way, we are also highly proficient in aggressively representing employers in alternative dispute resolution, administrative agency investigations, and federal and state court litigation. We specialize in litigating the
following matters:
- Wrongful termination,
- Compensation claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, such as wage, hour, and overtime pay disputes,
- Unemployment compensation hearings,
- Breach of contract claims, and
- Enforcement of restrictive covenants
