Employment Law
Wrongful termination, discriminiation, harassment, wage & hour disputes and non-compete/non-solicitation violations are just some of the issues that employees and employers confront. Our mediators are highly skilled in addressing employment related conflicts.
Wrongful termination.
A wrongful termination suit can be avoided through mediation, avoiding a lengthy, costly, and potentially reputation-damaging trial.
Discrimination.
Discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, and other conditions are handled by our mediators with the utmost sensitivity.
Harassment.
Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy), national origin, older age (beginning at age 40), disability, or genetic information (including family medical history). Similar to claims involving discrimination, the LIMS mediators approach these matters with utmost sensitivity and discretion.
non-compete and non-solicitation violations.
Violations of contractually mandated restrictive covenants not to compete or solicit often lead to lawsuits by employers seeking both monetary damages and injunctive relief. The applicability and enforceability of these provisions requires the involvement of experienced mediators to assist the parties.
Wage and hour disputes.
Our mediators skillfully address wage and hour disputes, including federal Fair Labor Standards Act cases.
