Employment Law / HR Advice
With today’s complex and ever-changing regulations, being an employer can be challenging. We can offer practical advice on all compliance requirements and also help you to strategically grow your business. Our role is to partner with you and serve as a trusted advisor to minimize risk and keep you focused on what you do best – running your business. If litigation becomes necessary, we will partner with you to find the most effective solutions in and out of the courtroom.
Workplace Investigations
Various situations in the workplace can trigger the need for an investigation – alleged discrimination or harassment, bullying, retaliation and other legal or policy violations. Although some investigations can be conducted in-house, in many situations, it is a best practice to utilize a third party to ensure a prompt, thorough and neutral process. We have handled numerous investigations and are skilled at complex issues such as interviewing challenging witnesses, evaluating evidence, assessing credibility and privacy concerns.
Administrative Agency Proceedings
We can efficiently investigate and draft responses to EEOC, HCRC, DOL, DLIR and USCIS complaints and handle any subsequent investigations.
Employment Document Review and Preparation
It is important though often tedious to draft and maintain updated employment policies and agreements such as employee handbooks, job descriptions, pandemic-related policies, drug-free workplace policies, non-compete agreements and employment contracts. Let us support you. We can also review and draft any documents used in the hiring, performance management and separation process.
General Contract Review and Negotiation
We can provide a thorough review of employment, third-party and various contracts for businesses and individuals and summarize the terms in a clear, practical manner.
On-site and Virtual Compliance and Strategic Trainings
We offer on-site and virtual compliance and strategic trainings. Our customized trainings address any specific workplace concerns and incorporate your policies and processes.
Comprehensive HR Audits
HR audits are vital to avoid legal and regulatory liability that may arise from a company’s policies and practices. We can efficiently conduct a compliance, strategic or function-specific (i.e., payroll, onboarding) audit with a focus on identifying key issues and providing effective solutions.
