Our labor and employment attorneys provide practical, strategic counsel to employers navigating the increasingly complex landscape of workplace laws and regulations. We partner with our clients to proactively address employment issues, minimize risk, and efficiently resolve disputes when they arise. Like our broader litigation practice, we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach—each workplace issue is evaluated with a focus on the client’s business objectives, culture, and long-term goals.
We regularly advise employers on day-to-day employment matters, including hiring, discipline, termination, and compliance with federal, state, and local laws. We work closely with management and human resources professionals to develop and implement policies, employee handbooks, and training programs designed to prevent disputes and promote a productive workplace. When disputes arise, we are skilled advocates in administrative proceedings, arbitration, and state and federal court.
We have experience representing employers in a wide variety of labor and employment matters, including:
- Employment discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims
- Wrongful termination and constructive discharge
- Wage and hour compliance and litigation
- Non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements
- Employee discipline, performance management, and termination
- Workplace investigations
- Employment policies, handbooks, and training
- Reductions in force and restructuring
- Leave laws, including FMLA and ADA compliance
- Employment agreements and executive compensation
- OSHA compliance and workplace safety
- Labor relations and union matters
- Representation before administrative agencies, including the EEOC, Arizona Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Labor, and National Labor Relations Board
