EMPLOYMENT LAW
Horack Talley’s labor and employment attorneys are well versed in the complicated, overlapping sources of regulation involved in employment disputes. We are sensitive to the personal and business concerns that typically accompany them.
We represent employers in contract negotiations, administrative proceedings, and litigation matters—although we have selectively assisted highly compensated employees with such matters as well.
Our lawyers have successfully obtained injunctions for employers for the purpose of preventing employees from violating covenants not to compete and confidentiality agreements. We have also assisted clients to employ workers wrongfully threatened with enforcement of an invalid non-compete agreement.
Our lawyers also regularly handle cases before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Employment Securities Commission (ESC) on a variety of subjects in both state and federal courts, including the following.
- Employment contracts
- Non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements
- Severance and separation agreements
- Wage and Hour disputes
- Trade secrets
We also handle employment discrimination claims on behalf of employers concerning matters under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (the ADEA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which governs claims of racial or sexual discrimination or harassment in the workplace), and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Over the years, our clients have included hotel-management companies, restaurants, health care staffing companies, health care providers, real estate developers, builders, insurance brokerages, technology services providers, and small businesses of all kinds.
