We work with our employer clients to avoid workplace disputes by providing an array of counseling and training services specifically tailored to help them understand and comply with applicable employment laws and regulations. Using this proactive approach, we not only help our clients minimize their legal liability and exposure, but we also enhance their ability to establish and sustain a productive and positive relationship with their employees. Our clients look to us to:
Draft employment contracts, manuals, handbooks, policies, offer letters and other documents that clearly establish the expectations of employees and employers.
Prepare strong, enforceable non-competition agreements and non-disclosure agreements designed to protect a company’s intellectual assets, good will, and trade secrets.
Educate managers and employees regarding compliance with state and federal anti-discrimination laws.
Assist them in crafting appropriate accommodations for persons with disabilities and/or handicaps under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Florida Civil Rights Act.
Conduct internal investigations and prepare investigation reports and disciplinary paperwork.
Manage volatile disciplinary situations and terminations.
Help them in becoming aware of and preventing workplace violence.
We also conduct seminars and instruct managers and supervisors in such areas as
sexual harassment prevention, reasonable accommodation of disabilities, discrimination,
progressive discipline and termination, internal investigations, and wage and hour
issues.
Employment Litigation
We pride ourselves in resolving difficult and sensitive matters favorably for our employer
and small business clients. If we are unable to reach a favorable resolution, we will use
our knowledge and litigation skills to familiarity with the court process to passionately
defend your matter in State and/or Federal court.
We have successfully defended employers against claims alleging discrimination,
retaliation, harassment, failure to accommodate claims, breach of contract claims,
wage and hour claims, and violations of non-competition and non-solicitation
agreements.
Flat Fee Services
We understand that our small business clients maybe unable to hire full-time In-House
Counsel or Human Resources Representatives. We also recognize that our small
business clients, concerned about running up legal bills, sometimes hesitate to contact
their attorney to ask about what is perceived to be a routine employment issue, only to
have that issue escalate later into costly dispute.
For that reason, we offer flat fees to our employer clients to enhance our ability to
provide training and counseling to our clients. For a flat monthly fee and/or retainer,
our small business clients have access to regular employment law advice, services and
heavy discounts to our regularly billable hourly rate. Contact us today so that we can
conduct an assessment of your business needs.
