Labor and Employment Litigation: An Overview

09:07

Even the most cautious employer may face discrimination charges or litigation brought by an employee at some or the other point. Unluckily, an employer’s abundant good faith and the absence of a homophobic motive do not guarantee that employment decisions are immune from challenge. These challenges include not only claims of deliberated discrimination, but also wages and hour claims, legal challenges as to the reasonableness of an adjustment under the ADA and questions as to abidance with other local, state and federal law.



Our primary goal is to help clients avoid discrimination charges and legal proceedings in the first place, through counseling and general instructions. But when these claims are put forward, our Ft. lauderdale labor litigation attorneys have the knowledge and experience essential to defend such claims, as they have handled thousands of matters before judges, juries, arbitrators and government regulatory bodies, including many cases that have expanded the scope of employer rights.

To keep our clients informed, our Ft. lauderdale labor litigation attorneys schedule training and general educational seminars, publish legitimate updates on matters of interest to employers and consult with clients as often as possible — before the employer may even be aware that there could be a difficulty. But even the most persevering employers face legal claims. When a lawsuit is filed, we take a cost-effective and goal-oriented formulation, with the client’s ultimate goal as our primary thought process throughout the process. We have defended individual and class action lawsuits regarding claims:

  1. Race, gender, age, disability and religious discrimination and harassment.
  2. Retaliation.
  3. Family and Medical Leave Act violations.
  4. ERISA violations.
  5. Breach of contract.
  6. Torts.
We strive to acquire an early resolution for clients, whether that be a judgement of dismissal on the pleadings, a pretrial persuasion or a settlement on favorable terms, recognizing the value of avoiding drawn-out litigation and costly discovery. Nevertheless, our attorneys stand ready for trial when essential. We have had numerous successes in jury trials and bench trials in both federal and state courts.

Our Ft. lauderdale labor litigation attorneys litigate in all federal jurisdictions and regularly represent clients on a full-range of employment and labor law issues, challenging disputes when and wherever necessary.

We believe that effective legal advocacy defines not only comprehensive knowledge of the law, but also a thorough discernment of our clients’ industries and businesses. By recognizing our clients’ crowning goals, we defend individual cases and provide advice with an eye on the bigger picture. Our team is proud of the standing we hold up with judges and the plaintiffs’ bar, and we are confident that our reputation for excellency and ethical practice directly benefits our clients, whether in the courtroom or during negotiations.

Understanding that litigation is expensive and time consuming and may damage an organization’s reputation, we proactively address issues and assist our clients with creating an effective risk-avoidance strategies to avoid a trial. But, when action is indispensable, our clients benefit from our creative and efficient approach to single and multiple plaintiff suits.

We counsel organizations on how to defend their trade secrets from misappropriation and help them draft policies and agreements to set up for the arrival of new employees and the departure of current employees. When a company is facing the unconventional theft of trade secrets, our litigators come up with support and build a strong case under the provisions of the Defense of Trade Secrets Act Litigation and corollary state laws.
