Every company needs to stay abreast of changes in labor and employment law and needs to know what to do when a disgruntled employee brings a lawsuit. Nixon Peabody has years of practical experience in this area of law. We counsel large corporations, partnerships, and entrepreneurs in public and private employment matters, including those that involve:
- Employment litigation and trials
- Alternative dispute resolution processes
- Labor-management relations
- Class actions
- ERISA litigation
- Executive compensation and benefits
- Workplace and supervisory training
- Wage/hour matters
- Non-compete litigation
- The group litigates discrimination cases in state and federal courts as well as before administrative agencies. We also defend companies on labor and employment matters in federal and state courts and before civil rights agencies, state and federal departments of labor, and the National Labor Relations Board.
Nixon Peabody is nationally recognized for its leadership in multi-plaintiff and class action litigation involving ERISA discrimination and FLSA claims. We advise union and non-union employers in traditional labor matters, and counsel employers concerning actions they can take in union-organizing campaigns. When unions have organized, we help employers negotiate labor contracts, handle arbitrations, and counsel them in other relevant areas.
The preventive area of our practice teaches companies how to avoid litigation. We offer customized training programs to explore how to comply with sexual harassment and discrimination laws, while ensuring a better work environment for all. In addition, our approach to alternative dispute resolution involving mediation and arbitration of employment disputes has won national acclaim. It offers employers a powerful tool for avoiding costly litigation in matters where that was once the only option.
