Employment Policies & Agreements

We write policies and agreements to be succinct and understandable, while complying with legal standards.

Workplace Investigations

We conduct workplace investigations as an independent third-party investigator, including concerns of harassment, bias, bullying, discrimination, retaliation, and Code of Conduct violations

Administrative Agency Changes

We respond to federal, state and local government inquiries and complaints related to harassment, discrimination, retaliation, worker classification, and wage and hour issues.

Why Us?

A deep bench of experience. Our attorneys each have 25 or more years of experience practicing exclusively in the area of employment law, including conducting hundreds of workplace investigations. Reviewing and writing policies and agreements are daily activities for us.

A collaborative approach. Our attorneys have worked together in various settings over the years and genuinely enjoy collaborating and consulting with one another.

Consistent quality. We trained with some of the best in this field and carry that forward with a commitment to responsiveness, a personalized approach, and building trust.

Smooth transitions. We do not handle litigation, but as former litigators we know the pitfalls and strive to prevent and resolve workplace issues. If a lawsuit arises, we assist with referrals to experienced trial attorneys and support transitioning the matter to assure your legal needs are well represented.
