About

Provided by Goltz Employment Law & Investigations

Goltz Employment Law & Investigations (GELI) approaches labor and employment law with a practical premise: investing proactively in sound workplace practices, legal compliance, and early dispute resolution protects business integrity and reduces the cost and disruption of litigation. The firm has particular expertise conducting independent, high-stakes workplace investigations involving senior executives, HR and compliance leaders, and allegations of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, bullying, or executive misconduct. GELI is frequently retained for matters involving multiple complainants, competing narratives, or potential breakdowns in leadership, reporting, or institutional processes.

GELI also counsels employers on day-to-day employment matters, including performance management, discipline, leave and accommodations, and employee separations. Its strategic workforce advice encompasses wage-and-hour compliance, the development and implementation of workplace policies and compliance programs, employee and management training, organizational restructuring, and reductions in force.

The Labor and Employment practice serves employers nationwide across higher education, nonprofit, manufacturing, medical-device and healthcare, technology, legal and professional services, construction, and real estate sectors. Clients range from small and midsize businesses to global companies seeking independent judgment, practical advice, and senior-level attention.
