ServicesLabor and Employment

We help companies proactively manage risk and protect their most valuable assets—people, intellectual property, and reputation. Our team conducts in-depth compensation audits, wage and hour reviews, and global pay equity assessments, then partners with leadership to refine policies that align with evolving regulations and business goals. We develop and implement robust IP and trade secret protection strategies, manage high-stakes misconduct investigations, and resolve sensitive employment and whistleblower matters. Whether you’re navigating a workforce reduction, restructuring across international operations, or expanding through acquisition, we provide targeted due diligence and risk mitigation—particularly in deals involving proprietary technology and trade secrets. We also build comprehensive ethics and compliance programs, including training and reporting systems, and guide employers through the complex web of federal and state leave laws. From boardrooms to global workforces, we deliver clear, actionable legal counsel that empowers organizations to grow responsibly and operate with integrity.

We conduct comprehensive compensation and wage and hour audits, including pay equity reviews, and work with clients to implement compliant compensation policies and practices. Our services include developing intellectual property and trade secret protection procedures to safeguard proprietary information, guiding leadership teams through sensitive employee misconduct investigations and workplace issues, and conducting internal investigations in response to whistleblower allegations and employment-related concerns. We counsel clients on reductions in force, restructurings, and workforce transitions, and perform employment-related due diligence in connection with business acquisitions and transactions, including analysis of labor risks and trade secret concerns. We also advise on ethics and compliance programs, employee training initiatives, and help navigate the interplay of federal and state leave laws, disability accommodation requirements, and workplace policies.

We represent employers in employment disputes and claims—from initial assessment through resolution—including matters involving breach of contract, discrimination, harassment, whistleblower retaliation, wage and hour compliance, trade secret protection, restrictive covenants, employee recruitment disputes, and equity compensation issues. Our litigation experience includes defending against discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims, representing clients in employment arbitrations involving diverse workplace issues, investigating and resolving workplace allegations, handling wage and hour disputes, representing clients in breach of employment agreement matters, defending executive departure and severance disputes, and protecting client interests in trade secret and unfair competition litigation.
