Counseling and Advising
True fact: Managing employees requires knowing many laws, down to the details where the true risks are often hidden. We are here for you. Collectively, we have 50 years of experience helping clients avoid traps, manage difficult conflicts, draft and implement proper procedures, write contracts, hire and fire, pay employees correctly, develop application and evaluation forms and processes—in essence, employ people.
Being experienced litigators helps, as we can foresee the potential problems of tomorrow that affect HR strategies of today. Our promise is to be accessible to our clients – to answer the phone or reply to the text message when something is on the verge of going wrong and a decision must be made. Life at work moves quickly. We can help it move more smoothly.
