We represent government employees who have been terminated without just cause or without proper due process.
• Termination of employment for discriminatory reasons: Employment discrimination, such as age, religion, gender, or race is prohibited by law. We represent employees and employers involved in litigation arising from discrimination claims.
• Other employment termination issues: When employment is terminated, either voluntarily or involuntarily, there are often other considerations which need to be addressed, especially for professionals and executives. Our attorneys assist with negotiating, drafting and reviewing severance agreements, non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements and other employment agreement issues which arise upon employment termination.
