For employers in business and government alike, employees are their most valuable and often most expensive asset. We provide creative and strategic legal expertise targeted to each client's goals and business environment - to help clients identify and address issues before they become costly lawsuits. Our goal is simple - to help governments and businesses of all types and sizes to maintain a productive, profitable and legal workplace.
Our varied and extensive expertise allows us to address all facets of the employer/employee relationship, from personnel policies to daily advice, and from administrative complaints to lawsuits. Our specialties include:
-
Personnel Law - Our employment attorneys are
expert in all facets of personnel law including performance management,
recruitment and selection, employee leave and reinstatement issues, disability and workers' compensation issues, wage and hour issues and discrimination and harassment-related matters. We develop workplace policies, provide employee and management training, and are available on an on-call basis to advise on all employment-related issues that arise in the workplace. We commit that your call will be returned in the same day you make it, or immediately in an emergency.
-
Employment Litigation Defense - Our employment litigators successfully
defend employers in state and federal court cases involving claims of discrimination,
harassment, wrongful termination, workers' compensation or disability discrimination, wage and hour or civil
rights violations, and other claims that arise out of the employment relationship.
-
Administrative Complaints - Our lawyers regularly
and successfully defend administrative complaints filed with the Oregon Bureau of Labor
and Industries, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department
of Labor, Employment Relations Board, and a variety of other state and
federal agencies.
-
Labor Relations Matters - Our labor attorneys are well versed in management-side labor relations matters in both the public and private sector. We respond to organizational
activities, collective bargaining matters, interest and grievance arbitration and unfair labor practice complaints. We appear regularly before both the Employment Relations Board
and the National Labor Relations Board.
