Employment
Our employment litigation team has defended employers against discrimination claims and Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuits, represented executives in actions to enforce severance provisions in their employment agreements against their former employers, and represented employers in actions to enforce restrictive covenants against their former employees. We also provide advice to our clients regarding compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, the WARN Act, and other federal and state laws.
