Employment Law Advice and Counsel

Our practice specializes in providing comprehensive support for management’s administration of personnel actions. We provide practical human resources advice and counsel with business-centered, legally compliant recommendations. Our services include creating policies, procedures, and guidelines customized to your organization, and assisting employers and business owners with strategic organizational planning.

We can:

• identify and research human resources issues;
• provide thoughtful analysis and business-responsive, legally compliant advice and counsel; and
• work with you to establish human resources objectives aligned with your organizational goals.

We work closely with executives, in-house counsel, and human resources professionals to develop and implement departmental processes relating to employees, including talent acquisition, staffing, employment processing, compensation, health and welfare benefits, training and development, records management, safety and health, succession planning, employee relations and retention, EEO compliance, and employee relations.

We guide management in the administration of personnel actions such as selecting, orienting, coaching, counseling, evaluating, disciplining, and terminating employees. We also specialize in reviewing personnel information used to support substantive employment decisions, resolving workplace issues, and implementing company-wide change, including corporate reorganizations, acquisitions, and reductions in force.

We support human resources professionals by managing special HR, personnel, and legal compliance projects, including:

• proactively identifying and clarifying HR issues and priorities;
• communicating and coordinating requirements to management and employees;
• expediting compliance efforts;
• evaluating milestone achievements;
• assessing alternative courses of action; and
• adjusting assumptions and strategic direction as needed.

Finally, we help organizations create and sustain a culture of compliance. This requires a thorough understanding of your business and its goals. We assist employers in educating employees on the connection between workplace conduct, organizational objectives, and business success. Our goal is to help you clearly communicate and consistently enforce organizational values. We believe transparency and empathy for the employee’s perspective reduce friction and increase engagement.
