Employment Law and Discrimination
Keeping costs under control, dealing with vendors and customers and complying with laws and regulations make owning or starting a business a 24/7 job, but the toughest part is managing employees. Many issues can be handled without talking to a lawyer. Many issues, however, should not be handled without first speaking to a lawyer. Courts and government agencies frequently issue new rules and create new employee rights. As a result, there's been a growth of lawsuits with large awards, including lawyer's fees. Checking with an experienced employment law lawyer who's successfully represented both employees and businesses can help with the difficult decisions of what and what not to do.
An experienced lawyer and a smart business owner or manager will work together to discuss legal risks, prepare necessary documents and assure compliance with the laws and regulations that affect the client's business. It's good business to avoid or minimize legal risks, including "closing loopholes" that can cause lawsuits. It's also good business to save legal expenses and precious time by attempting to negotiate or mediate business disputes, before they become lawsuits.- Sometimes, however, a business dispute, or a violation of a business's rights, is so serious that it must go to Court, including cases where immediate review by a court is required. In those cases, an experienced and aggressive trial lawyer is necessary to protect and defend a business client's rights and interests.
