The Employment Law Practice Group supports employers with the daily struggle of running an effective and efficient operation while complying with an ever-increasing array of federal, state, and local laws.

Our Employment Law Practice

We advise on all aspects of the employment relationship, from the recruiting stage through termination and beyond.  We provide practical solutions to compliance issues and employee disputes so that companies can avoid the time, expense, and disruption of litigation.  When conflicts do arise, we aggressively advocate for our clients, including in administrative matters and individual, collective, and class action litigation.

The Firm’s expertise in this area includes:

• Wage and hour – We have extensive experience advising employers with regard to wage and hour compliance at the state and federal levels. This includes providing advice pertaining to minimum wage laws, overtime laws, and equal pay. Wage and hour violations are among the most common triggers of employment-related disputes, so a comprehensive and custom-tailored approach to compliance is essential.
• Leave and disability accommodation management – Violations related to leave and disability accommodations are common sources of employment-related litigation as well. We help our clients comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and other pertinent state and federal laws.
• Employment and separation agreements – While New York is an at-will employment state, employers may still choose to use employment agreements in a variety of scenarios, including when entering into relationships with new senior executives. We take a custom-tailored approach to drafting employment agreements for our clients as well, and we also assist with drafting and negotiating separation agreements when necessary.
• Dispute resolution – We also have extensive experience in the area of dispute resolution. This includes representing employers in administrative hearings, government audits, arbitration, and litigation. If your company is facing an employment-related dispute in New York, we can use our experience to help you pursue an efficient and favorable outcome that protects your company’s interests both now and in the future.
