Our
Practice
We advise clients on all areas of employment law, ranging from prudent
practices to development or interpretation of employee handbooks
and employee policies. We investigate discrimination and harassment
claims.
When
necessary we also litigate claims before federal and state administrative
agencies through out New England. We frequently appear before state
and federal courts in connection with wrongful discharge, wage and
hour matters and related litigation.
In
the nonunionized arena, we work with clients to keep them that way.
We advise contract administration, negotiations and grievance and
arbitration matters.
We
design and implement retirement plans and employee benefit programs
of all types and when necessary defend ERISA and other claims based
upon benefits issues. We have a special expertise working with medical
groups, hospitals, municipalities and school districts.
Our
Strength
Our problem solving team, with more than a hundred years of collective
experience, sets us apart in the legal marketplace. At the front
end, we develop strategies and minimize the risk of litigation and
exposure for our clients. Several attorneys on our team have been
named among The Best Lawyers in America; and one elected
as a fellow to the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers.
Our
Success
In many instances, we function as in-house labor and employment counsel, addressing
our client’s daily challenges in today’s complicated and risky employment and
labor environment. Clients choose us because we successfully help them avoid
claims as well as resolve claims brought against them.
