We advise and represent employers in all aspects of labor and employment litigation. Our attorneys combine the skills and experience of a large firm with the cost effective legal service that today’s clients demand. Our experience includes representing clients before administrative agencies such as the Illinois Human Rights Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Office of the Civil Rights, the Department of Labor, and in state and federal courts across the country. These cases involve allegations of age, sex, race, pregnancy, disability, religious, national origin and other discrimination claims, ERISA, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, state law torts and other state and federal employment laws.
We also help clients avoid litigation by working effectively with in-house counsel and human resources departments to identify policies and practices that make an organization vulnerable to employment claims. To that end, we counsel clients on matters such as discipline and discharge, leaves of absence, employee handbooks and policies, wage and hour issues, and investigation of workplace harassment and misconduct. We also implement training programs on harassment prevention and other employment issues designed to prevent litigation.
