Labor and Employment
Dramatic changes in the workplace and among
workforces of all types are occurring on a near-daily
basis.
Our lawyers can swiftly and authoritatively
react to such changes with their range of skills and services and
demonstrated understanding of our clients’ organizational and
cultural nuances.
Our lawyers regularly defend and try cases
for clients at all stages before a broad range of courts and
administrative agencies from state and federal courts in the United
States to the Employment Tribunal and High Court of the United
Kingdom. With such expertise and insight, SNR Denton advises
clients on all aspects of labor and employment law and policy,
including mergers and acquisitions, workforce restructuring,
plant closings, compliance issues, investigations, employee
training, union-related matters and negotiations, immigration,
Private Finance Initiative (PFI) deals, the specialized body of
California employment laws and insolvencies.
SNR Denton lawyers are adept at handling
and managing a variety of transactions and workforce
restructurings. We take a comprehensive approach to the
employment aspects of corporate and real estate transactions,
including due diligence, contract and claims exposure analysis,
negotiations, and other federal and state legal compliance and the
drafting and enforcement of restrictive covenants and
employment-related contractual provisions. We advise on strategies
for the sensitive separation of senior executives and employees in
protected classes.
SNR Denton assists in high profile and
sensitive investigations of whistleblower claims, retaliation
claims, employee misconduct, harassment, and discrimination claims.
We advise on compliance with the myriad local and national
employment laws and regulations.
We strategize with clients to help them
formulate cutting-edge employment policies, including harassment,
electronic monitoring and corporate compliance programs.
Our lawyers are regularly required to
coordinate employment and immigration advice on an international
basis, working closely with our offices worldwide to provide
seamless service to our clients.
