About

Provided by Partridge Snow & Hahn LLP

We advise companies on the potential legal risks and likely business impacts of employment decisions on a daily basis. Common areas of advice involve terminations, hiring, discipline, compensation, medical accommodation requests, collective bargaining, mandatory arbitration agreements, union avoidance, policies, manager trainings, equal pay laws, and new employment laws. Recently, we have guided clients through a variety of solutions to the legal perils that have resulted from remote work and the labor shortage.  

We have extensive experience in state courts, federal courts and arbitrations in various jurisdictions involving discrimination, wage & hour, class action, and other employment-based claims. We also have extensive experience before state and federal regulatory agencies. The unique experience of our employment attorneys not only provides rigorous defense against the claims by employees, but also provides wholistic advice to clients as to how to lessen the negative impacts of employment litigation on the employer and existing workforce.  

We offer an extensive selection of manager trainings designed to prevent employee claims from arising, and to provide protection for the company when mistakes happen. Our popular trainings include manager harassment and discrimination prevention training; manager issue spotting; manager union avoidance; illegal interview questions and hiring best practices; human resources training, medical accommodations, and leave requests.
