Labor and Employment

Gerard Fox Law's Labor and Employment Group represents employers in a wide variety of labor and employment matters.  We counsel our clients on compliance with equal opportunity laws and we successfully defend employers when they are faced with discrimination, wrongful termination, workers’ compensation, EEOC, and other regulatory claims.  We offer extensive and innovative training programs to allow clients to take precautionary measures to avoid litigation.  We provide expert assistance in handling claims involving race, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and national origin issues, and are tenacious litigators if those claims turn into lawsuits.  We are adept at handling privacy and safety matters and work closely with our employer clients when an OSHA incident occurs.  Our lawyershave extensive governmental experience and understand how the EEOC and other state and federal agencies think.
