Employment Law

Employment law deals with the rights and obligations of employers and employees, and is governed by both federal and state statutes related to a variety of issues in the workplace.

When your business needs legal advice and guidance to develop sound employment practices, policies and strategies and arrive at effective resolution of tort claims, our employment law attorneys can help. We represent commercial enterprises as well as municipalities, other government entities, hospitals and schools in all aspects of employment law. The legal services we provide include counseling to promote employee/employer relations, tort claims and litigation pertaining to discrimination; harassment, retaliation, wage and hour compliance; family medical leave, unemployment compensation disputes, personnel policies and procedures and disciplinary actions.

We assist clients in the development and drafting of sound policies and procedures, and offer effective legal guidance in managing employer-employee relationships and their employment process from advertising, recruitment, testing and the hiring process through post-termination legal claims. Our employment counseling extends to providing in-service training for management and staff regarding rights, responsibilities and obligations of labor laws.

We have extensive experience representing clients before state and federal courts, in arbitration and before administrative agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Arizona Workforce Commission-Civil Rights Division in claims arising under:

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• Age Discrimination in Employment Act
