Labor & Employment

Businesses, public institutions, and individuals seek out Greene Espel for representation in a wide range of employment matters.

Litigation. Our attorneys have tried cases to verdict—in state and federal court, and arbitration forums—and handled appeals in courts around the country in a full range of employment disputes. We regularly defend both private and public sector clients when current or former employees accuse them of discrimination based on sex, race, disability, or other protected-class status. Often these cases involve allegations of retaliation in response to the underlying discrimination actions or whistleblower and other similar claims. We work with our clients defending personnel decisions when they are challenged before various administrative agencies, and we routinely secure agency determinations in the employers' favor. And when opposing parties initiate litigation, we stand with our clients to defend such actions in state and federal court. 

Counseling. Every Greene Espel employment attorney is an experienced litigator. This gives us special expertise when it comes to what is most important to you—avoiding litigation in the first place through active counseling and training. We can advise your human resources professionals, managers, and supervisors in employment decisions, assist with developing and analyzing workplace policies and procedures, and alert you to relevant changes in the law governing employees and employers.
