As counsel for many businesses, we have assisted employers in properly structuring and documenting the employment relationship and avoiding or minimizing the impact of lawsuits. Our approach is to effectively counsel clients on how to avoid employment-related disputes by creating employer/employee relationships that are well thought-out and memorialized in clear and fair employment agreements and other employment-related documents. We provide counsel in:
 |
Drafting and negotiating employment documents, including employment agreements, employment manuals, employee handbooks, restrictive covenants, stock option agreements, non-disclosure agreements, severance agreements and other similar documents
|
|
Wrongful discharge |
|
Breach of contract, including breaches of non-competition, non-solicitation, and other restrictive covenants |
|
Discrimination |
|
Sexual harassment |
|
Whistleblowers |
|
LAD (New Jersey’s Law against Discrimination) |
|
ADA (The Americans with Disabilities Act) |
|
FMLA (The Family and Medical Leave Act) |
|
USERRA (The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act) |
|
|
We also counsel clients in connection with decisions related to disciplining and terminating employees. When an employee levels charges of on-the-job harassment or discrimination, we protect our clients’ interests by investigating the charges and, if necessary, recommending remedial actions. Our attorneys also provide specially tailored training seminars to educate and equip management to handle difficult workplace issues.
And when disputes do arise, we work with our clients to arrive at a strategy that resolves the dispute before litigation ensues. However, we recognize that certain cases are especially difficult to resolve and must therefore be firmly and effectively defended. In those situations, our experienced litigation attorneys have a proven record of success in handling litigated employment matters in both the state and federal courts as well as before arbitration panels.
