Our attorneys advise and
represent businesses and professionals across the
spectrum of employment-related legal issues. We
counsel our clients to help them avoid problems when
possible, negotiate on their behalf to resolve
disputes out of court, and litigate tenaciously when
litigation is necessary or cannot be avoided.
Typical matters handled by our attorneys include:
- Advising
employers on compliance with federal and state
statutes regulating employment, such as the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the federal and state
Family and Medical Leave Acts, and the Americans
with Disabilities Act;
- Assisting clients
in drafting personnel policies and employee
handbooks;
- Drafting and
negotiating employment contracts,
confidentiality and non-competition agreements,
compensation plans, and separation agreements;
- Conducting
investigations of sexual harassment and
"whistleblower" complaints, or advising
employers on the conduct of such investigations;
- Representing
clients in administrative proceedings before the
Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and
Opportunities, the Connecticut Department of
Labor, and other administrative agencies;
- Representing
clients in mediation and arbitration of
employment disputes;
- Litigating and
trying employment cases in both state and
federal courts – including Title VII (race, sex,
and national origin discrimination), age
discrimination, disability discrimination, ERISA,
breach of contract, wrongful discharge,
misappropriation of trade secrets and
enforcement of restrictive covenants.
Clients without active
employment-related disputes may benefit from our
guidance on matters such as the auditing of
personnel policies and general advice on non-routine
employment issues.
