Practice Areas

A number of our lawyers devote a significant portion of their practices to litigation arising from the employment relationship. This area of the law requires an awareness of fast-breaking developments. By monitoring these developments, we are able to counsel our clients to minimize the risk of litigation. For example, many disputes can be avoided by careful review of proposed statements of company policy in personnel manuals.

When disputes arise, we are experienced in the representation of clients both in court and before government agencies. We have successfully defended numerous discrimination and wrongful termination claims, as well as suits based on alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act and National Labor Relations Act. We also are active in proceedings based on the Kansas employment security law, including unemployment compensation matters and employee status determinations.
