About
Provided by Troutman Pepper
Our labor and employment practice has extensive experience handling the most sensitive workplace employment matters, allowing clients to focus on running their businesses.
From international media companies to local restaurants, clients rely on us to provide counsel on all types of labor and employment law matters. We are ranked as a leading law firm by Chambers USA and our attorneys advise on OSHA, wage/hour and employment-discrimination class actions, ERISA litigation, OFCCP issues, restrictive covenants, and collective bargaining agreements.
Our record of favorable settlements and early case dismissals is consistently strong, and given that an employment-related dispute must go to trial, few, if any, firms have our jury trial experience. We have the depth of knowledge to handle virtually any labor or employment issue, including the following:
- Class and collective actions litigation
- Employment counseling
- Government claims and investigations
- Independent contractor misclassification and compliance
- Litigation and dispute resolution
- Non-Compete and trade secrets
- Traditional labor
