Although we represent businesses in all areas of commercial litigation, our practice focuses on the representation of management in employment and labor law. We regularly advise and defend employers in the following areas:
* Employee discipline and termination.
* Formation and enforcement of employment contracts.
* Review and preparation of employee handbooks and policies.
* Accommodation of employee disabilities.
* Drug and alcohol testing.
* Wrongful discharge claims.
* Discrimination claims, including sex, race, national origin, and disability; sexual harassment claims; administrative proceedings involving the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and corresponding state agencies.
* ERISA litigation.
* Medical, family, and armed forces leave laws.
* Enforcement of noncompetition and confidentiality agreements.
* Union grievances and arbitrations.
* Wage and hour issues.
* Employee severance packages.
* Layoffs, plant closures, reductions in force, and the WARN Act.
Much of our work takes place in state and federal court. Our lawyers have substantial courtroom experience. We practice in all courts throughout the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, as well as the federal courts, including the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
We also work closely with clients to avoid the necessity of having to go to court. Through planning and the development of sound employment practices, we assist clients in avoiding claims and litigation and minimizing risks of liability.
