Employment and Labor
The Doerner Saunders Employment Law Practice Group provides a team solution to the full array of issues facing employers today. We don't just try your case; we partner with you from the outset to provide you with options to maximize your ability to run your business while minimizing your legal risk. We represent a wide range of employers, from Fortune 500 Companies such as Sears Holdings Corporation and American Electric Power, to local start-up businesses. Our group is ready to assist whether you need an employment contract, a drug and alcohol testing policy, or someone to draft and help implement a reduction in force program. Our group is ready to walk you through that Friday at 3:00 p.m. decision of whether to fire that employee. Our group is ready to meet the investigators from OSHA if they come calling. Our group can even assist with immigration issues from simple I-9 compliance to bringing international talent to your stateside operations.
We regularly represent employers at every stage of the conflict process including federal and state courts, administrative agencies (the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, state human rights commissions, federal and state departments of labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board). We represent clients in arbitrations before the American Arbitration Association, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and private arbitrators.
