About

Provided by Ward and Smith PA

Navigating the complexities of employment law is our specialty. Our team at Ward and Smith recognizes the challenges labor and employment regulations impose on businesses. We act as both a trusted advisor and a fierce advocate, working collaboratively with clients to develop and implement effective employment policies and practices. We stay ahead of the curve by proactively monitoring legal changes, aiming to prevent disputes before they arise. Our two-pronged approach combines proactive risk management with experienced litigation.


Empowering informed decisions: Several of our attorneys focus on crafting essential documents like employee handbooks, contracts, and termination agreements. This empowers businesses to make informed decisions regarding human resources practices and workforce reductions.


Seasoned litigators, fierce advocates: We handle cases involving civil rights violations, wage and hour issues, wrongful termination, workplace safety, and much more. Because we litigate our own cases, we offer a comprehensive understanding of both sides of employment disputes, allowing us to better represent our clients' interests.
