Labor and Employment

Brach Eichler’s Labor and Employment practice group represents leading companies, organizations and individuals in solving their most critical business and legal issues. 

Counseling: Our Labor & Employment Group helps employers in the private, not-for-profit and public spheres, meet the complex legal, compliance, and human resources challenges common in today’s workplace. Our team assists employers with specific federal and state regulation compliance, employment policies and agreement drafting, agency investigations and audits, and employee benefits, among other matters. We are advisors for in-house counsel, HR professionals and management teams looking to develop policies, and strategies. We focus on working with clients to prevent issues before they occur.  As labor laws and regulations are increasing and more complicated every year, we aim to keep our clients informed on how these laws affect their business and procedures to enable senior management to make informed, proactive and effective decisions, minimizing litigation risk and reducing risk.

Litigation: Our team also represents employers and employees in litigation and arbitrations that arise out of all forms of workplace disputes such as wage and hour claims, pay equity claims, harassment, discrimination, and retaliation claims, whistleblower claims, restrictive covenants disputes, trade secret and confidential information protection, ERISA plan disputes, and all other manner of disputes. We regularly litigate the full range of labor-management issues that arise in federal and state courts, and private labor arbitration for contract disputes. Employers and employees turn to our team when they are headed to trial and their reputations are on the line. While many of our cases resolve before trial, our employment litigation team includes several trial lawyers who have taken these dispute through jury trial and arbitration hearings.
