Workplace Retaliation
It takes guts to stand up against unlawful practices in the workplace.
Executive Employee Representation
There are many reasons why an executive employee might seek legal counsel.
International Employment Law
The international network of employers and employees can create confusion; it is hard to know what labor laws apply to who, and when.

Breach of Contract
Employment contracts play an important role in defining the terms and scope of the relationship between an employer and an employee.
Family & Medical Leave Rights
It is not uncommon to need time away from work to address and care for health-related issues.
Mental Disability Discrimination
Mental disabilities may create additional challenges in many aspects of life, but they should never impact one’s status in the workplace.
Political Discrimination
Political affiliations and beliefs are incredibly polarizing in America today and can cause deep social divides.
Wrongful Termination
There are many reasons that a termination may be unfair or unjust; a termination may also be illegal and considered to be “wrongful termination.”
Employment Law
Employment law attorneys can bring individual civil suits as well as class action lawsuits.
Hostile Work Environments
Federal and State employment laws protect employees from working in a hostile environment.
