LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT
We assist clients in the full range of labor and employment litigation in state and federal courts. We also represent clients before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Department of Labor, the Florida Commission on Human Relations, the Public Employees Relations Commission, and the Agency for Workforce Innovation. We have handled litigation in connection with misappropriation of trade secrets, employment discrimination and retaliation, defamation, wage and hour laws, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, and sexual harassment.
Employment litigation is not inevitable. We can counsel you on preventative measures to minimize the risk of litigation, including developing workplace discrimination and harassment policies and practices, training employees and managers, and preparing employment agreements and handbooks. Federal, state, and local laws need to be considered in developing company policies.
