A stable relationship between management and labor can be critical to the strength of a business. In the field of labor-management relations, providing competent legal counsel requires a grasp not only of the law, but of the standards and practices of the workplace. With experience representing employers in a range of businesses and industries, in both the private and public sectors, our employment disputes attorneys are the choice of employers throughout the region.
Employers turn to us for counsel in creating strategies and programs to avoid union organization. If an organizational campaign begins, we guide employers through the process and up to the representation election. Our employment disputes lawyers help employers respond to union strikes and picketing activity and represent them in injunction proceedings to avoid interruption or interference with key business.
For employers with unionized workforces, we provide assistance in preparing for and conducting collective bargaining negotiations. Once an agreement is in place, we provide legal advice on the interpretation of contract language and we represent management in grievance and arbitration proceedings. We also represent employers in unfair labor practice and representation proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board and state labor-relations agencies.
