The full costs of Labor & Employment litigation can run much higher than the legal bills themselves. High-profile matters can cost companies incalculable sums in negative PR, and class actions can force major organizational changes. Our Labor & Employment attorneys help our clients avoid these problems by advising them on what to do to reduce the risk of litigation. When litigation occurs, having an experienced Labor & Employment attorney can significantly improve the chances for a successful result.
We have successfully represented and defended our clients in all types of labor relations, discrimination and employment matters, including claims under the National Labor Relations Act, Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the New York Human Rights Law, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the New York Labor Law. We have obtained jury verdicts and had summary judgments granted dismissing all types of labor and employment claims, including race, sex, age, disability, religious, and national origin discrimination; sexual harassment; and other types of hostile work environment claims.
Our attorneys also litigate employment contract claims, employee non-compete agreements, wrongful discharge claims, and claims for breach of the duty of loyalty. In addition, we defend workplace torts, such as defamation, assault and battery, and infliction of emotional distress. |
