REPRESENTING BUSINESSES IN EMPLOYMENT LAW MATTERS
Managing employees requires businesses to navigate an extensive framework of federal and state employment laws. Decisions involving hiring, compensation, workplace accommodations, leave, discipline, and termination can create significant legal obligations and potential liability for employers.
The attorneys at Deeb Law Group, P.A. counsel and represent businesses in a broad range of employment law matters. Our experience includes claims and compliance issues involving the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), COBRA, Title VII and other anti-discrimination laws, Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, ERISA, termination disputes, and other federal and state employment laws.
Whether you need guidance before making an employment decision or representation after a dispute has arisen, we can help you understand your obligations, evaluate potential risks, and determine an appropriate course of action.
GUIDANCE ON EMPLOYMENT POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND AGREEMENTS
Effective employment counsel begins before a claim is made. We work with businesses to establish policies and procedures designed to promote compliance, clearly communicate workplace expectations, and reduce the risk of preventable employment disputes.
Our attorneys can review and prepare employee handbooks, employment applications, personnel forms, disciplinary and termination procedures, employment agreements, and other documents used in managing your workforce. We can also review existing employment practices and provide guidance when questions arise involving hiring, leave, accommodations, compensation, discipline, or termination.
We also advise businesses regarding restrictive covenants, confidentiality agreements, and other employment-related agreements designed to protect legitimate business interests. Because the laws governing these agreements continue to evolve, careful drafting and periodic review can be important to their effectiveness and enforceability.
RESPONDING TO EMPLOYMENT CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
Even businesses with well-developed employment policies and careful management practices can face claims from current or former employees. When a dispute arises, decisions made during the early stages of a claim can affect how the matter develops and ultimately is resolved.
Deeb Law Group, P.A. represents employers in administrative proceedings, employment-related litigation, and other workplace disputes. Involving legal counsel early allows us to evaluate the allegations, preserve relevant information, advise you regarding your legal obligations and available options, and develop a strategy appropriate to the circumstances.
When litigation becomes necessary, our attorneys draw on decades of civil litigation experience to protect your interests and pursue an efficient resolution. When appropriate, we also explore opportunities to resolve employment disputes without prolonged litigation.
