1. Employment Laws for Compliance and Global Workforce Risk Management
We help employers manage complex, multi-jurisdictional compliance obligations. Labor and employment regulations differ significantly across states and countries. At SJKP LLP, we identify compliance gaps, mitigate legal risks, and implement global employment frameworks tailored to your business structure and workforce composition.
Our guidance extends from drafting internal policies to preparing for government audits, giving employers practical tools to stay ahead of regulatory scrutiny. We ensure that global workforce strategies remain compliant while supporting business growth.
Key Areas of Employment Laws for Compliance
We advise on employment classification and wage-hour compliance, ensuring that companies correctly distinguish between employees, contractors, and temporary workers. This reduces the risk of misclassification disputes and helps employers meet wage and hour obligations under federal and state law.
We also guide clients on workplace discrimination and harassment prevention policies. Our lawyers draft comprehensive employee handbooks, provide anti-harassment training, and ensure policies align with EEOC regulations, creating a safer and more inclusive workplace.
In addition, we support businesses with global mobility and immigration compliance, assisting with visa sponsorships, expatriate assignments, and cross-border employment transfers. This allows employers to deploy talent internationally while remaining compliant with U.S. immigration law.
Finally, we counsel on OSHA and workplace safety standards, helping employers design safety programs, conduct risk assessments, and respond to workplace incidents. By proactively addressing safety obligations, companies reduce liability and foster stronger employee confidence.
2. Employment Litigation and Dispute Resolution
SJKP LLP represents employers in high-stakes employment disputes. Our seasoned litigators defend against class actions, whistleblower retaliation claims, non-compete and trade secret violations, wrongful termination lawsuits, and government agency investigations including those initiated by the EEOC, DOL, and NLRB.
We combine litigation strategy with proactive risk management, enabling businesses to resolve disputes efficiently while protecting reputation and financial stability. When possible, we also help clients explore settlement and mediation to reduce long-term exposure.
Representative Dispute Matters
We defend employers in class and collective wage & hour actions, where large groups of employees allege unpaid wages or overtime. These cases can be high-risk, and we develop strategies to minimize exposure.
We also handle whistleblower and retaliation claims under SOX and Dodd-Frank, ensuring companies can respond to internal reports of misconduct without running afoul of federal protections.
Our attorneys frequently enforce non-compete and restrictive covenants, protecting businesses from unfair competition and safeguarding trade secrets.
In the union context, we represent employers in labor disputes and unfair labor practice proceedings, guiding them through hearings before the NLRB and related bodies.
Finally, we promote the use of alternative dispute resolutions (ADRs), including arbitration and mediation, to help companies resolve matters faster and at lower cost than traditional litigation.
3. Employment Strategies: Workforce Transactions and Strategic Projects
Our employment team advises on labor aspects of M&A, corporate restructurings, and workforce integration. We also support clients in planning reductions in force (RIFs), negotiating severance packages, and structuring incentive compensation plans. Our goal is to make workforce transformation legally sound and strategically aligned.
By combining employment expertise with corporate and tax insights, we help companies design workforce strategies that minimize disruption while maximizing long-term value. This integrated approach ensures smooth transitions during periods of organizational change.
Workforce-Related Corporate Events
We assist with employment due diligence in M&A, reviewing labor contracts, benefit plans, and compliance records to uncover risks before deals close.
When companies face downsizing, we guide them through reductions in force (RIF) and WARN Act compliance, ensuring legal obligations are met while maintaining transparency with affected employees.
Our lawyers also design equity incentive plans and executive agreements that balance performance rewards with shareholder interests, supporting executive retention.
Finally, we counsel on post-transaction workforce integration and harmonization, helping businesses unify corporate cultures, align compensation structures, and maintain productivity after restructuring.
4. Labor Laws; Employment Collective Bargaining and Labor Relations
We support employers in managing unionized workforces, negotiating collective bargaining agreements, and responding to labor actions. Whether you’re dealing with the NLRB, state labor boards, or worker councils in international contexts, SJKP LLP provides practical, business-minded advice.
Our team helps clients build strong labor relations strategies, balancing compliance with workforce engagement. From union negotiations to strike preparedness, we guide employers in protecting both operational continuity and employee trust.
Labor Laws; Key Union and Labor Services
We represent employers in collective bargaining agreement negotiations, focusing on wage terms, benefits, and work rules while keeping business objectives at the forefront.
We also advise on union avoidance strategy and training, helping companies foster positive employee relations to reduce the likelihood of unionization.
In cases of government intervention, we defend clients in unfair labor practice proceedings, preparing legal responses and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Finally, we help employers with strike preparation and contingency planning, ensuring that operational disruptions are minimized and legal obligations are respected during labor actions.
