EMPLOYMENT LAW

 Managing today's workforce is more complex than ever before. Our employment law attorneys work with businesses, business owners, business professionals, in-house counsel, and Human Resource departments to anticipate, avoid, minimize, and resolve disputes before they get out of hand. We regularly consult and draft employment policies and handbooks. Negotiation and preparation of employment contracts, severance agreements, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, and other restrictive covenants are common areas of work for us.

When an employment dispute arises, or an alleged or suspected breach of contract arising from a non-disclosure agreement, confidentiality agreement, or covenant not to compete (i.e., non-compete agreement/non-solicitation agreement), our employment litigation attorneys provide businesses, business owners, and business professionals with the zealous representation necessary to protect and preserve their rights from enforcement and defense of claims arising from non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disclosure agreements, or the use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets, and defense of claims alleging unlawful employment practices.

Our employment litigation attorneys regularly enforce and defend breach of contract claims, both for employers and current and former employees, arising from alleged violations of restrictive covenants, confidentiality, non-disclosure and other types of employment agreements, and concerning confidential information and trade secret misappropriation claims. We also represent businesses, business owners and management in employment-related matters relating to the defense of employment-related claims such as discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, whistleblower, and wage/hour claims. We are well-versed in employment claims brought before federal, state, and local administrative bodies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).

We understand the intricacies of the employer/employee relationship and work with businesses, business owners, HR and in-house counsel to anticipate and avoid employment-related disputes and limit companies’ exposure should a dispute arise.
