employment litigation

Employment related matters generally fall into one of three categories: One relates to representing either the employer and the employee in the creation of the employment relationship, including, where appropriate, the preparation of an employment agreement. The second relates to representing employers or employees (usually employees) as it relates to the employee's desire to leave their employment and start a business that might be in competition with the employee's current employer. The third relates to post-employment matters, including breach of contract and discrimination claims (including claims based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, whistle blower, and the like).

Our firm has significant experience both in representing employers and employees on all such matters. The firm believes the fact that it represents both employers and employees gives it a keen insight into how both sides react to such matters and, therefore, how to best handle and/or resolve such matters.
