We represent employers and high-level executives and managers from all types of industries and professions throughout Chicago and the surrounding area.
Our firm offers full-service employment and labor law representation, from drafting policies and contracts to litigating disputes. As experienced business and corporate law attorneys, we understand employer needs as varied as doctors transferring to another hospital, salespeople leaving your company, employee disputes and working with unions.
Employee Claims and Labor Disputes
We can defend your business against claims made by employees or filed by the Department of Economic Security, including those involving:
- Termination and severance agreements
- Unemployment disputes
- Discrimination charges filed by employees
- The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Confidentiality agreements (trade secret misappropriation)
- Noncompete and non-solicitation agreements
- Independent contractor agreements and disputes
We also draft and review employee handbooks, including policies and procedures, while making sure that they are compliant with Illinois and federal laws. If your business needs assistance resolving workplace disputes informally, we can help. When necessary, our attorneys provide aggressive litigation against employee claims.
If your company works with labor unions, you may need counsel for matters such as labor disputes, Fair Labor Standards Act claims, union audits, collective bargaining agreements, strikes, NLRB and State Labor Board cases, and grievances and arbitration proceedings. We understand that disputes between a business and a union can be very costly to your production, profits and reputation. Our lawyers strive to resolve these matters efficiently and effectively.
We have offices in Chicago, Wheaton and Oswego. To make an appointment with our DuPage County employment and labor law attorneys, please call 630-871-1002 or contact us online.
