About

Provided by Poyner Spruill LLP

Private and public sector employers face complex legislation and regulatory requirements that govern the employment relationship. Lawsuits by employees are steadily rising as are enforcement actions and audits by government agencies responsible for enforcing employment laws, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.

We provide our clients with advice and strategies for avoiding liability that make sense in the context of their businesses and provide counsel that is legally sound and operationally practical.

Our attorneys work closely with our clients to establish practical and useful employment policies, advise clients on the day-to-day implementation of policy and employment laws, and regularly assist clients through difficult situations involving disciplinary action, termination, employee counseling, employee violence, privacy, disability and religious accommodation, internal complaints of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and other complex issues. If a claim cannot be avoided through careful planning, our attorneys help position employers to have a strong, well-documented defense in preparation for litigation. We defend our clients in state and federal courts nationwide against all types of employment-related claims, and we have a strong track record of successful early case disposition.
