Labor & Employment

About

Provided by Bell Nunnally & Martin

Every employer is covered by at least one state or federal employment law, and frequently by multiple laws. Our employment attorneys assist business owners in negotiating the day-to-day maze of those laws. And, because employment problems can, and frequently do, turn into lawsuits, our employment lawyers are skilled in the courtroom. We have litigated virtually every type of employment discrimination case, and that considerable jury trial experience provides the insights to advise employers on the steps needed to avoid litigation.   Our goal is always to focus on helping clients run their businesses in a way that keeps them out of court.  But when a trial is the best option, we have the experience and skill to be zealous advocates.

Representative Matter:

• Represented a national restaurant chain in a federal court class action lawsuit filed by the EEOC, claiming systematic gender discrimination in the client’s hiring practices.  After vigorous discovery into the EEOC’s investigation methodology and preparing the case for trial, the EEOC agreed to a  very modest nuisance value settlement.
