Employment Law

Proactive Counsel to Support Your Business

Whether you’re a multinational company employer or an entrepreneur on your first start-up, employment laws impact every business. We provide proactive counsel on the full range of employment matters, including state and federal compliance, internal investigations, trade secrets and non-competes, and employee claims of every kind. Importantly, we can work with you on the development of sound personnel policies and procedures in order to avoid potential disputes in the future.

With partner involvement on every matter, we are here to guide your business decisions. Whether you are expanding your business and adding staff, reducing your workforce, or dealing with a complaint, our team has experienced it all and, when necessary, can also draw on the full range of our firm’s business counseling expertise.

With substantial employment litigation experience, we can represent you before state and federal courts, and the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as necessary.

We represent employers and executives in companies of all sizes and often act as outside employment counsel to address the spectrum of day-to-day employment issues. Members of our team are available to conduct customized trainings and seminars—whether virtually or at your place of business—on various employment-related topics, including sexual harassment and discrimination avoidance, and best practices for finding leadership for startups.
