Our Employment Litigation practice provides aggressive defense of workplace claims in courts, arbitration, and administrative proceedings, with extensive trial experience.
Employment litigation requires experienced advocates who understand both legal issues and business context. MC Law's Employment Litigation practice provides vigorous defense across all types of employment claims.
We defend the full range of employment claims including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and tort claims arising from employment relationships.
Common claims include discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage and hour violations, FMLA interference, ADA failure to accommodate, breach of employment contracts, trade secret misappropriation, and whistleblower retaliation.
Promptly investigate the allegations, preserve relevant documents, prepare a thorough position statement addressing each allegation, gather supporting documentation, and consider whether early resolution through mediation would be beneficial.
Employment cases typically proceed through filing, answer and initial disclosures, discovery including depositions, motion practice, mediation or settlement conferences, and trial if not resolved. Many cases also involve administrative proceedings before court litigation.
Preventive measures include compliant policies and handbooks, regular training, consistent documentation, prompt investigation of complaints, legal review of termination decisions, proper classification of workers, and accurate wage and hour practices.
Consider settlement when litigation costs may exceed exposure, when key facts are unfavorable, to avoid adverse precedent, when business disruption from litigation is significant, or when early resolution allows the company to move forward. Evaluate total cost including management time and reputational impact.
