Labor & Employment Law
Labor & Employment Law Group
Our labor and employment law group handles litigation of all types for employers, and counsels employers, as well, on labor negotiations, union avoidance, avoiding employment discrimination claims, formulation of policies and procedures, compliance issues, drafting labor agreements, drafting employment and other contracts with restrictive covenants concerning competetion, solicitation of customers, confidentiality and trade secrets, complying with safety requirements, and contractual, statutory and regulatory obligations to their employees in connection with business acquisitions, divestitures, and restructurings.
All of the members of the group are experienced in employment discrimination defense before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Illinois Department of Human Rights, the Missouri Commission on Human Rights, and state and federal courts. We regularly defend wrongful discharge cases, wage and hour investigations and suits, and OSHA litigation, as well as in counseling employers on a variety of issues.
