Employment

Counseling
LFAP’s employment practice attorneys advise as to all issues that expose businesses to risk and potential loss. Advice includes counseling and training specifically tailored to each client, with a special emphasis on identifying risks and taking proactive measures in order to insure against those risks and to avoid costly litigation.

Wage and hour regulations, disability rules (including ADA), employee discipline (including termination), employee benefits, sexual discrimination and harassment, workplace violence, employee documentation including handbooks, personnel policies, and employment contracts, are all part of the LFAP employment law guidance.

Litigation
Any employer sued by an employee or former employee can count on skilled, aggressive representation by LFAP attorneys. LFAP’s track record of success has kept its clients where they belong – in business.

California employers are under increasing attack from plaintiff/employee attorneys who focus their practice on employer challenges because of statutes which favor employees and allow the recovery of attorney’s fees. Regulatory agencies, more often than not, favor employees. LFAP’s attorneys are prepared to assist our business clients in avoiding such challenges and defending disputes that arise.
