Areas of Focus
The best way to decrease legal costs is to reduce legal disputes. We help clients draft or update their employment policies and implement accident prevention, cost containment and defense strategies. Our labor and employment team is also nationally known for training employees, supervisors and management on subjects such as sexual harassment, effective discipline, absenteeism and personnel file documentation. These proactive measures have been shown to significantly limit employer liability while also positioning clients to mount an effective defense against, should a claim or investigation arise. Finally, our experience defending both locally owned businesses and Fortune 500 companies in countless claims and enforcement actions gives clients an uncommon advantage in resolving even the most complex employment law issues.
Our team combines in-depth knowledge and creative litigation strategies to provide practical Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) solutions for corporations and insurance providers. We defend clients against benefits denial claims at the district court and appellate levels, often in complex ERISA litigation involving discrimination and breach of fiduciary duty claims as well as severance, cutbacks, withdrawal liability under the MPPAA, delinquent contributions.
In addition to helping clients achieve their litigation goals, we provide timely updates on litigation trends to insurers, health care providers, self-insured employers and third-party claims administrators. These insights allow our clients to proactively adjust their claims handling procedures in order to avoid litigation and/or increase their odds of prevailing should litigation ensue.
