PRACTICE OVERVIEW
PRACTICE AREA CHAIR:
Jonathan T. HymanOur jobs are integral to our lives. More than what we do, they define who we are. Our skilled and experienced team of employment and labor attorneys understands the unique issues your employees present for your business. We stand at the ready to help you navigate the alphabet soup of employment, workers’ compensation and labor laws to help keep you in compliance and handle the day-to-day problems your employees can create. Whether it is drafting a policy, handbook, or non-compete agreement, conducting an internal investigation, responding to a workplace injury, or advising on a performance, absence, or termination issue, our team is here for you and your business. Yet, no matter what you do proactively, some employees will file an administrative charge or lawsuit against your business. In that instance, we are also here to litigate for you in defense of those claims. The bottom line is that if you have an issue impacting your workplace or employees, it is an issue in which we have experience and can represent your business.
