Employment Law
Our multi-faceted Employment Law practice primarily includes representation of employers, but we provide counsel to employees when no conflict of interest exists. For employers, we have the expertise to assure your compliance with all federal and state statutes and municipal ordinances regarding employment relationships. Retained directly or through Employment Liability Insurance, we defend employers in response to Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claims, Tennessee Human Rights Commission and National Labor Relations Board charges, and federal and state court lawsuits. Our attorneys are qualified and highly proficient with representation, arbitration, and mediation for allegations of harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliatory discharge, wage and hour disputes, workers’ compensation claims, litigation and related insurance coverage issues, and premium dispute resolution.
We also counsel and represent employers and employees regarding non-compete covenants, provisions, or agreements in employment contracts. If you need legal guidance for termination of employment agreements and relationships, including severance agreements, we are available to advise both employers and employees.
