Employment Lawsuits
The Alba Law Firm Is Proud to Serve Employers and Business Owners in New York City
If you are an employer, you are likely aware that there are a myriad of ways you can go seriously wrong. A major slip-up in a hiring, firing, or harassment incident can result in a lawsuit that could cost you thousands of dollars in legal fees, damaging public perception of your business, and even remove you from your role or force your business out of operation.
It is absolutely essential that you are aware of all the laws and regulations placed on you as an employer—but who has time to study complex, nuanced employment laws while managing the demands of running a business?
That’s where we come in. At the Alba Law Firm, we learn, study, and apply the law so you don’t have to do it all alone. By involving a competent employment law attorney, you can avoid the common pitfalls that lead to employment lawsuits.
When to Consult with a NYC Business Lawyer
Our business lawyers are happy to advise you in regards to any of the following:
- Decisions regarding termination: It is especially important to seek legal counsel immediately if your decision to terminate an employee is contested, if the person being fired belongs to a protected class of people, if you suspect the employee is engaging in illegal activity, or if the firing is potentially sensitive for any other reason.
- Reviewing contracts: If you and an employee experience a disagreement regarding the terms of their contract, it is imperative that you get an experienced business lawyer on your side in order to ensure the terms of your contract is fairly enforced.
- Noncompete agreements: Our team of business law attorneys is happy to advise you when an employee decides to leave your company and work for a competitor or commit another potential violation of a non-compete agreement. We understand that protecting your trade secrets is essential to the success of your operation, so we are committed to helping you enforce noncompete agreements as necessary and ensure your current and former employees are called to account when they endanger your business.
- Complaints of harassment or discrimination: Even if an employee is not actively seeking legal recourse following allegations of harassment or discrimination, these are the kinds of cases that can blow up quickly and do serious damage to your company’s public image (as well as your wallet). Get ahead of the damage by consulting with a business lawyer right away.
In many cases, employment lawsuits can be avoided by consulting with an experienced business law attorney. We count it a success when we are able to help you safeguard your business and steer clear of legal scuffles as much as possible, because we know that means you are better able to continue working and leading your office, branch, company, or organization.
