訴訟
Although we proactively work with our labor and employment clients and their opponents to minimize litigation, Squire Sanders trial lawyers will also zealously defend employers’ rights before courts and government agencies. We represent clients against all claims that might arise out of the employment or service provider relationship including benefits and leave, breach of employment contract, discrimination, intentional torts, union and protected activity, wage and hour issues, workers’ compensation and other workplace safety violations, and wrongful/whistleblower discharge.
We also assist employers in pursuing trade secret and restrictive covenant or noncompetition claims against former employees who share proprietary information with new employers or misappropriate it to compete against former employers.
Our clients appreciate our strategic litigation plan that we develop up front, outlining the proposed course of action, estimated costs and likelihood of outcomes. We always put our clients’ objectives at the forefront to achieve the best results.
Despite our litigation expertise, we recognize that the best result for a client often is to avoid litigation. We educate and counsel employers on the broad array of topics relating to the employment relationship, always coaching clients on the best litigation avoidance practices.
