EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR

Claims against employers continue to dominate the litigation landscape, and the political winds of the day are once again blowing in the face of employers. Claims of disability, race, national origin, sex, age, religious discrimination, and retaliation claims of all kinds are being filed at an unprecedented rate. In addition, employers are finding it necessary to protect themselves against unfair competition through the use of employment agreements including non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure agreements. The result is that navigating the world of the employer-employee relationship is infinitely more complicated and vastly different than it was even a decade ago.
