Employment &
Workplace Disputes

Overview

Employment disputes can involve significant financial exposure, career implications, and reputational risk for both employees and employers. Our practice handles a broad range of workplace matters, from individual wrongful termination and discrimination claims to executive compensation negotiations and enforcement of restrictive covenants.

We represent employees whose rights have been violated and employers facing claims from current or former employees. Our approach emphasizes early factual assessment, clear strategic planning, and pragmatic resolution where possible, with full willingness to litigate when matters cannot be resolved outside of court.

Matters We Handle

• Wrongful termination claims
• Discrimination and harassment matters under Title VII, ADA, ADEA, and state statutes
• Retaliation and whistleblower claims
• Wage and hour disputes, including FLSA claims and unpaid overtime
• Executive compensation and severance negotiations
• Non-compete, non-solicit, and confidentiality agreement enforcement and defense
• Breach of employment contract
• ERISA and benefits disputes
• EEOC charges and state agency proceedings
• Workplace investigation representation

Who We Represent

Employees: We represent professionals, executives, and mid-career employees who have experienced wrongful conduct or are negotiating the terms of a departure. Our experience with high-compensation executives includes equity vesting disputes, deferred compensation matters, and negotiation of separation agreements and releases.

Employers: We advise small and mid-sized businesses on workplace compliance, investigate and respond to employee complaints, defend against discrimination and harassment claims, and enforce restrictive covenants against former employees.

Our Approach

Employment matters benefit from discretion. We approach disputes with the understanding that most parties — on both sides — prefer a confidential, negotiated resolution to public litigation. We work to identify reasonable resolutions early, while preserving litigation readiness if negotiations fail.

Where litigation is required, we are equipped to handle the full arc of an employment case: initial pleadings, written and oral discovery, motion practice, trial, and appellate briefing where necessary.
