Areas of Practice


Harassment and Discrimination

 

If your gender, race, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, medical condition or disability have interfered with your employment, or if you have become the victim of sexual, racial, or other forms of harassment, our harassment and discrimination representation is designed to help you.


Wrongful Termination

 

Our wrongful termination representation is targeted at holding employers accountable for unlawful job dismissals that violate contractual agreements or are based on impermissible legal factors, such as retaliation, whistleblowing, or fraud.


Severance Agreements

 

If you are laid off or terminated, your employer may offer you severance pay in exchange for your signing a legal release. You would want to maximize the economic and non-economic benefits you could receive before you sign any severance agreement. Our staff offers detailed severance agreement advice, analysis and negotiations.
