Our Employment group works tirelessly to advocate for our clients and achieve the most desirable outcome through meditation, settlements and, if necessary, aggressive litigation. Because Pennsylvania is an employment-at-will state, many employers and employees assume that without a traditional contract, there is no opportunity to dispute a job termination. Experience proves otherwise.

We have built our practice by developing creative options for employees and employers utilizing private and public agreement, statutory rights and the common law. By grasping the nature of the employee/employer relationship and the expectations on each side, we help opponents work together to achieve a satisfactory result expeditiously, with as little strain as possible.

We have expertise in the following:

• Workplace Practices
• Employment Contracts and Executive Compensation
• Payment Practices
• Diversity Litigation and Law Suit Avoidance
• Immigration
• Pensions & Benefits
• Fair Labor Standards Act
• Wage and Overtime Issues and Employee Exemptions
• EEO-1 Statements
• National Labor Relations Act and Union Issues
