Employment litigation and claims can have a significant impact in the workplace, affecting everything from employee morale to the bottom line. Our attorneys have the experience and track record to provide first-class legal representation in a variety of forums. Among our attorneys, Ms. Nani Marchand, is also an Arbitrator and Mediator with the American Arbitration Association.

As an alternative to litigation and traditional adjudicative processes, we adopt formal and informal mediation techniques to reach cost-effective employment dispute resolutions. We are proud of our track record in applying this approach at the consulting stage, and before and/or during litigation, leading to satisfactory and successful settlements and practical solutions for our clients. When litigation is the right path, our team’s success in trial advocacy and motion practice bears witness to our effectiveness.

We litigate and handle employment disputes and defend management in state and federal courts and administrative forums, including the State Insurance Fund Corporation (local workers’ compensation agency), the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor and the following local counterparts and subdivisions:

  • Antidiscrimination Unit
  • Office of Mediation and Adjudication
  • Bureau of Employment Norms
  • Unemployment Insurance Division
  • Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
