From pre-employment issues to separation issues, we advise our clients on how to avoid employment and labor-related litigation, and we represent them in court when litigation cannot be avoided. Our attorneys appear on behalf of our clients before state and federal courts and agencies–including the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission–to present or defend claims for: failure to timely pay wages owed; wrongful termination; sexual harassment; employment discrimination; unfair labor practices; and other employment-related claims.
