Labor & Employment

About

Provided by Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP

Through each stage of the employment cycle, an organization must proactively manage one of their most valuable assets – their workforce. From routine matters to the most complex challenges, our Labor & Employment team works with clients to help them achieve their business goals through a strong and well-managed workforce. Clients rely on our advice for recruiting, hiring, training, discipline, termination and retirement, and trust us to protect their trade secrets and competitive advantage through employment agreements and enforcement. We regularly provide counsel to employers in union and non-union settings across multiple industries in Ohio and across the nation.

Our labor and employment attorneys advise as to best practices to avoid litigation, but, if necessary, we call on our years of successful courtroom experience to defend your interests in employment litigation. We base our representation on a solid understanding of our clients’ businesses, workforce policies and practices, and business goals. To be as effective and affordable as possible, we partner with in-house counsel, human resources personnel, managers and supervisors. At the same time, we proactively manage how current cases or matters may affect policy considerations and employee relations in the future.

To help HR teams minimize risk and ensure compliance, Porter Wright offers HR Audits that allow leaders to choose the level of legal review they need from a tailored menu of relevant services.
