Employment Litigation
While we strive to avoid situations for both employers and employees that result in litigation, sometimes it is unavoidable. In those instances where litigation arises, we have extensive experience in successfully representing our clients in employment disputes in the New York state and federal courts as well as the administrative agencies, the EEOC, and NYS and NYC Human Rights agencies.
Our employment litigation practice involves primarily defending management in employment discrimination claims, harassment, wage and hour claims, and a wide variety of employment contract disputes such as violations of non-compete and confidentiality provisions, restrictive covenants and non-solicitation clauses.
