Employment and Labor

Morrison Mahoney’s attorneys routinely assist the management side of corporations, medical facilities, municipalities, retail establishments, hotels, restaurants, sports arenas, transportation companies, public entities, and other businesses with a broad range of employment needs. Our expertise ranges from counseling and compliance to litigation defense and labor relations services. Our firm’s practical approach to labor and employment issues is built upon years of experience working with hundreds of employer organizations and litigating these disputes before juries, judges, arbitrators, and administrative agencies.

Employment Litigation
Our attorneys routinely defend employers and business owners before state and federal courts and administrative agencies. We have experience counseling and defending claims arising under breach of contract allegations, civil rights violations, employment discrimination, public accommodations, OSHA violations, trade secret and non-compete agreements, wage and hour claims, whistleblower claims, wrongful discharge claims,  and other employment-related tort matters.

Employer Counseling and Training
Morrison Mahoney offers counseling and provides proactive and preventative advice to clients on all aspects of employment, including hiring, discipline, and termination. Some of these matters include:

• Drafting employment documents including employee handbooks and workplace policies, non-competition and severance agreements, and non-disclosure agreements
• Providing discrimination and harassment prevention training for managers, human resources professionals, and non-supervisory employees to ensure compliance with various state and federal laws to proactively prevent claims
• Investigating and defending discrimination and harassment claims
• Risk management including progressive discipline advice

Business ADA Compliance
Our attorneys routinely assist business owners and operators in achieving and maintaining full compliance with the ADA and applicable state and local disability codes. We asses company property and policies, architectural features, communications, and website issues to identify potential shortfalls and provide expedient and cost-effective solutions.

We have defended clients classified under Title III of the ADA as public accommodations, and Title II as public entities in ADA lawsuits and Department of Justice proceedings.

Labor Law
Our attorneys work with various public and private organizations with respect to contract negotiations, grievance matters, arbitrations, claims involving violations of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and defending actions before administrative agencies including the State and Federal Departments of Labor.
