Employment Litigation and Disputes

Despite the best preventive efforts, employment claims sometimes arise. When they do, we are here to help you accomplish your goals in all aspects of employment litigation.

We represent our clients in the full spectrum of employment-related litigation matters, including discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment, FMLA, wage and hour  (FLSA), ERISA, whistleblower, breach of employment, noncompetition or confidentiality agreements, misappropriation of trade secrets, defamation, tortious interference with contract, and wrongful discharge. In addition, we offer in-depth understanding of EEOC, Department of Labor, Minnesota Department of Human Rights, and other state agency procedures, to help you respond to charges and achieve successful dispute resolution.
