Miami and Ft. Lauderdale Employment Defense Lawyers

Hollywood, Sunrise, Pembroke Pines, Weston, Boca Raton & West Palm Beach Florida

Businesses across Florida face many challenges including increased local and global competition, an unpredictable economy, rising costs and rising taxes.  Unfortunately, employers also need to concern themselves with employment legislation designed to protect workers. This is where we can help.

Employers often find themselves needing representation for:

• Claims of employment discrimination (based on age, race, gender, sex, national origin, pregnancy and other protected classifications)
• Sexual harassment
• Wrongful termination
• Retaliation
• Employment contract disputes
• Enforcement of non-compete agreements, non-solicitation covenants and non-disclosure agreements
• Confidentiality agreements
• Wage and hour claims
• Breach of contract claims
• Claims under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
• Whistleblower claims

The stakes are high when facing an employment lawsuit. For many businesses, an adverse result can cause irreparable damage. While employees have the right to fair treatment and protection, employers also have rights and should have effective legal representation.

How we are different
In many cases, strong employment litigation defense actually starts with prevention. Avoiding employment related pitfalls is critical to minimizing claims. We can help with employment policies, compliance with state and federal laws and workplace safety regulations. We also can help draft fair and enforceable non-compete agreements.

When faced with litigation, an employer needs seasoned attorneys who have real trial experience and who employ a practical approach to litigation. Having this battle-tested experience often helps us resolve the dispute without going to court. We will build a strategy and within weeks of filing a complaint or receiving a demand letter, and realize that often the best solution for an employer is timely resolution.

As trial lawyers and business people ourselves, we are knowledgeable about employment legislation, precedent-setting cases and employment law trends. We use that knowledge to help our business clients.
