Defending union and fund clients as employers, and limiting their exposure.
We recognize that our clients are employers, too.
We aggressively defend our labor union and fund clients against all types of discrimination, wage-and-hour, and wrongful discharge claims. Our goal is to protect our clients against expensive employment litigation and liability through ongoing communication that keeps up with their ever-changing needs.
Through our seminars for clients, we provide training that emphasizes effective communication, including the drafting and updating of personnel manuals, anti-discrimination seminars, and the consistent implementation of employer policies.
We also provide immediate assistance when a potential or actual claim of employment discrimination or wrongful employment practice arises. We explore all options and creative approaches to provide the most cost-effective and appropriate defense possible.
