Employers may find themselves facing significant litigation – lawsuits can have a major impact on the company’s brand and public perception, along with potential financial ramifications.

Potential Reasons For Employment Litigation
Below are just a few examples of the types of cases we handle for employers facing litigation:
- Wage and hour violations, which might include claims of unpaid overtime, illegal pay cuts or commission structures, or employee misclassification
- Breach of contract issues, such as terminating an employee without showing due cause if they have an employment contract requiring it
- Accusations of discriminatory animus in hiring, promoting, or mentoring in the workplace
- Claims of harassment, such as quid pro quo sexual harassment, and related retaliation
- Accusations of wrongful termination, such as terminating an employee because of their inclusion in a protected class or request for an accommodation
- Creating a hostile work environment, which could be related to discrimination, sexual harassment, or other such factors
- Whistleblower cases, such as a whistleblower reporting safety violations, workplace harassment, or noncompliance with financial regulations
Our attorneys handle a wide variety of cases, each with unique factors to consider. These cases can be very complex, requiring the development of a proper defense, gathering and analyzing evidence, preserving documentation, responding properly to court notices, attending hearings, and much more. Our experience is crucial when working through this process, as we have been handling these cases for nearly 30 years. Being served a complaint and facing litigation for the first time can be daunting; our attorneys are fully familiar with the process and are available to help employers navigate the process and explain what steps need to be taken.
