Employment Law
Employers
In representing employers in Connecticut, we work to prevent legal issues from arising in the first place. Oftentimes, our clients come to us for help to head off any potential employment matters before they become legal problems. Among other things, this can include:
Advising companies on legal compliance;
Drafting and reviewing employee manuals;
Drafting and interpreting employment contracts; Conducting policy reviews;
Conducting personnel reviews; and
Representing employers in negotiation and arbitration.
By working together to prevent lawsuits from occurring in the first place, both the company owners and the workers benefit in the long run. But even if your proactive approach still fails you, we are there to help defend against complaints and charges filed with the Connecticut Commission on Humans Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) and Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) or in state and federal court.
Employees
Your employment is one of the most important matters in your life. When things go wrong at work—whether it be a demotion, discipline, termination, or simply being treated differently than other employees—it can be devastating to you and your family.
Our experience representing employers gives us unique perspective and insight that is highly advantageous in occasionally representing individuals with issues arising within the employment relationship. We advise employees on and litigate all types of matters including breach of contract, wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, defamation, trade secret misappropriation, restrictive covenant enforcement, wage and hour disputes, employee benefits and compensation, emotional distress, and other related claims.
