Labor and Employment

A public sector organization’s management of employees in a workplace with constantly evolving complexities is even more challenging than it is for private sector employers. Because we have such a strong government practice, we understand the unique legal issues local government entities face, including conflicting government laws and policies and bureaucratic hurdles. In particular, we have significant experience representing public sector employers in the following aspects of labor and employment law:

• Accessibility and accommodations
• Administrative claims and hearings
• Agreements and handbooks
• Collective bargaining
• Counseling and preventive services
• Drug testing
• Training
• Labor arbitrations and civil service hearings
• Employment litigation
• Unemployment claims
• Wage and Hour claims and audits
• Workplace investigations

When necessary, we call upon our lawyers in related practice areas to provide you with the benefit of our collective experience across a broad range of disciplines and to provide the best possible legal representation.
