- Reviewing employment policies and procedures to ensure compliance and to recommend “best practices” to reduce the risks of employment litigation;
- Drafting and advising on noncompete agreements;
- Drafting employee handbooks, manuals, and technology policies or to update existing HR policies and procedures to ensure legal compliance with current state and federal law;
- Investigating suspected employee misconduct, including wrongful conduct involving computers and the internet and investigating such conduct while related criminal charges against current and former employees were being pursued by state and federal authorities; and
- Providing supervisor, manager, and employee training on various topics, including sexual harassment and discrimination.
Or if an employment issue has already ignited, we have the experience to defend your company against employment lawsuits or state and federal agency charges of harassment, discrimination, or other employment law violations.
We also represent clients in Federal and Michigan employment claims. Our employment litigation experience covers contract and sales commission contract disputes to claims Federal and Michigan employment law claims.
Our Michigan employment law attorneys routinely handle employment discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA), Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act (PDCRA) and the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), along with retaliation and whistleblower claims, sexual harassment, reverse race discrimination, Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as well as trade secret misappropriation claims, breach of noncompete agreements, and negligent hiring claims.
And we are not afraid to go to trial, having represented both employers and employees in jury trials involving these claims.
