Employment law covers a broad range of issues, and even well-managed businesses may face claims. Some of the most common disputes employers encounter include:

• Wrongful Termination Claims: Defending businesses against allegations of unlawful termination, ensuring compliance with employment laws, and mitigating the risk of liability.
• Workplace Discrimination Allegations: Assisting employers in responding to claims involving race, gender, religion, disability, age, or other protected characteristics under federal and state law.
• Harassment Complaints: Representing employers facing claims of hostile work environments and guiding them in implementing policies to reduce risk and strengthen compliance.
• Wage and Hour Disputes: Defending businesses in disputes involving overtime, minimum wage, and benefits under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Virginia wage laws.
• Breach of Employment Contracts: Enforcing employer rights and defending against claims when disputes arise over employment agreements.

The earlier an employer engages legal counsel, the greater the opportunity to resolve disputes effectively and reduce exposure. Many employment claims involve strict deadlines and procedural requirements, and missing them can increase liability risks.
