Our Labor & Employment Practice Group offers the experience and expertise necessary to customize legal solutions for businesses and their insurers with regard to complex employment and labor law claims. We act as employer defense, coverage, and monitoring counsel on a regional and national basis. We also serve as trusted advisors on complex labor disputes. We provide our clients with expedient advice and practical analysis. When necessary we develop a thorough litigation plan, and a resolution objective.
Recognizing the enormous time and expense involved in these matters, we counsel our clients on the various defense and early resolution options available, and work to resolve these disputes in the most expeditious and efficient manner. Depending on the case, this often means early mediation. However, in some cases where this is not feasible, we are fully prepared to litigate a case through administrative hearing or trial.
SmithAmundsen attorneys develop a comprehensive understanding of the businesses and industries in which our clients operate and we understand the effect labor disputes and employment claims have on an employer’s ability to conduct business. In addition to defending labor charges and employment claims, we pride ourselves on our ability to counsel clients on developing and implementing solid business practices to avoid future controversy or litigation. We collaborate often with members of SmithAmundsen’s Construction, Transportation, Health Care, and Financial Services and Business practice groups to handle a wide array of labor and employment issues unique to a specific industry or employer.
