LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT LAW
Although preparation cannot always avoid lawsuits in today’s society, careful planning and preparation can limit lawsuits and greatly reduce liability. The attorneys of Cohen
Durrett provide preventive consultation in all areas of employment and labor law. The goal is to avoid litigation when possible, and build in all appropriate defenses where litigation cannot be avoided. We assist business owners and managers on a daily basis with a myriad of matters relating to policies, procedures and implementation of human resource systems to achieve compliance with governmental regulations. We also provide support during union organizing activities, collective bargaining and even union decertification procedures.
CohenDurrett is retained by The Employers' Council to provide legal services to its members.
Our employment and labor practice include the following matters:
- Traditional Labor Law
- Employee Handbooks
- Wrongful Discharge
- Employment Discrimination
- Unlawful Harassment
- Wage Claims
- Reduction in Workforce Planning
- Employment Contracts
- Employee Separation and Non-competition Agreements
- Affirmative Action
- Drug Testing
- Use of Independent Contractors
- Human Resources Policy Development
- Protection of Trade Secrets, Trademarks and Other Confidential Information
- Management Training
- Independent Investigations
Even with preparation employees create difficult legal issues. In the unfortunate event a conflict arises, the attorneys at CohenDurrett represent employers in all phases of dispute resolution and litigation in the employment and labor field. We understand the need to assemble a strong case at the outset and take immediate and effective action in response to claims by employees. We represent employers before all state and federal courts, as well as various agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), state and federal OSHA, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the California Fair Employment and Housing Commission, the Department of Labor Standards Enforcement and the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. We also represent employers in private mediation and arbitration.
