Employment Law Counseling and Training
It is far easier and less costly if employers take preventative measures, rather than dealing with a problem after it emerges. With this in mind, much of our work in the employment law area involves counseling, advisory, and training services designed to minimize risk for our employer clients.
We craft employment manuals and create policies and procedures for human resources departments. Our lawyers conduct training sessions in sexual harassment prevention for executives, managers, and employees. We write employment contracts for key executive, managerial, and professional employees.
Our goal is to help our clients create productive work environments that avoid problems and comply with employment and labor laws.
