Labor & Employment

Our top tier Labor and Employment attorneys represent a diverse group of employers, from Fortune 100 companies to start-ups, in all facets of employment counseling and litigation.  Members of this group counsel employers on matters such as employee hiring, discipline and termination; wage and hour issues; sexual harassment policies and immigration issues.  We literally "wrote the book" on many of the challenging issues facing employers today --- employment law manuals published by our partner Richard Simmons are highly sought after by human resource professionals.  When our Labor and Employment lawyers cannot resolve a dispute through application of powers of persuasion, they are prepared to vigorously defend employers and supervisors in civil and administrative litigation arising from the employment relationship.  These include wrongful discharge, workplace privacy and violence, and disputes under state and federal wage and hour and discrimination laws.  (As a side note, these attorneys, by far, have the most interesting stories.  So, if you don't join them, at least consider standing next to them at cocktail parties.)
