Employment Contracts and Policies

We draft employment contracts and company policies that are compliant with federal and state law, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Our team can also provide tailored training sessions to educate your staff on sexual harassment and discrimination policies, fostering a safe and inclusive work environment.

In the event of employment-related disputes, our firm provides legal representation in plaintiff and defense litigation, including mediation, arbitration, trials, and appeals. We handle a range of matters, including discrimination claims brought under Title VII, state-specific Human Rights Laws, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our services also include representation in matters involving claims of reverse discrimination, where individuals allege they have been treated unfairly based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics despite being part of a historically majority group. We recognize that discrimination claims can arise in various forms, including disputes involving alleged preferential treatment, hiring practices, or advancement decisions.

In addition to discrimination matters, we handle cases involving harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and violations of wage and hour laws. We also provide representation in whistleblower cases under Labor Law 740/741, the Federal False Claims Act, the Department of Justice's Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program, the SEC’s Whistleblower Program, and other applicable laws. Our firm assists whistleblowers in pursuing legal protections when they expose suspected fraud, safety violations, or other unlawful conduct.

Our firm also represents clients in Independent Contractor Payment disputes and litigation under the Freelance Isn’t Free Act, helping freelancers and contractors pursue payment for their services. Additionally, we represent federal employees who appeal adverse employment actions, such as terminations and suspensions, before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). By addressing a broad spectrum of discrimination matters, including both traditional and reverse discrimination claims, our firm is dedicated to ensuring that clients receive fair treatment under the law.
