Overview

EEOC and State Agency Discrimination Investigations – Discrimination claims can be brought before a variety of federal, state, and/or local agencies with jurisdiction to enforce equal employment opportunity laws. The best strategy at the agency level often differs from the best strategy once a case proceeds to court. Because our lawyers have extensive experience with these governmental agencies, we are in a position to advise a client on the best approach with that agency, while keeping in mind the larger litigation picture. Due to the extent of our practice, in many cases our attorneys will have had experience dealing with the particular government investigators and decision makers assigned to your case.

Employment Contracts, Torts, and Other Litigation – Our experience extends beyond traditional labor and employment discrimination litigation. It includes employment contract, tenure denial, tort and restrictive covenant litigation, in both state and federal courts. Whether these additional legal theories are asserted in combination with discrimination claims or by themselves, we are prepared to vigorously defend your organization on all fronts.
