Employment & Labor

We have extensive experience defending wage-and-hour class actions, Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) collective actions, and state-law employment claims. Our attorneys develop efficient defense strategies to minimize exposure and control litigation costs while preserving brand reputation.

When sensitive workplace allegations arise—such as harassment, retaliation, or ethics violations—we conduct impartial internal investigations to assess exposure, recommend corrective measures, and prepare for potential regulatory inquiries. We also counsel on crisis communications and disciplinary actions consistent with best practices and legal standards.

We help clients resolve employment disputes through alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including mediation and arbitration. Our team designs and enforces arbitration programs that balance efficiency with fairness, reducing the burden of litigation while ensuring enforceable outcomes.

We draft and review employee handbooks, workplace conduct policies, and codes of ethics tailored to industry-specific regulations. Our attorneys ensure policies comply with the FMLA, ADA, Title VII, and state equivalents, while promoting a respectful and productive workplace.

We conduct wage-and-hour audits to identify misclassification issues, overtime violations, and recordkeeping errors under the FLSA and state wage laws. Our attorneys develop practical solutions to minimize back-pay exposure and reduce future risk.

We assist organizations in implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs that align with corporate social responsibility and ESG commitments. Our counsel ensures such initiatives comply with anti-discrimination laws and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

We assist unionized employers in collective bargaining, labor arbitrations, grievance resolutions, and NLRB proceedings. For non-union workplaces, we help maintain positive employee relations and prevent unionization risks. Our nuanced understanding of labor relations allows us to tailor strategies to fit each organization’s structure and culture.
