Labor and employment laws affect the entire legal relationship between employers and employees, beginning with the initial hiring process and expanding into every facet of daily operations, including job descriptions, wages, hours of work, promotions, reviews, terminations, benefits, leaves of absence, stock options, as well as the numerous disputes that arise out of the employment relationship. On many occasions, employers seek to “do the right thing” and yet don’t realize they might be in violation of the law. With one of the largest and most prestigious Labor and Employment law practices in the country, we are here to advise on all aspects of the employment relationship and to provide aggressive representation in litigation, through trial.
