Our attorneys counsel employers in defense of wrongful termination claims. While it is often the case that an employer can terminate an employee’s employment for any reason that isn’t illegal, wrongful termination occurs when an employee claims he/she has been terminated because of his or her protected characteristics or in violation of other employment laws. In this scenario, the employee refutes the decision to terminate and may file a retaliation claim against their employer.
By filing a retaliation claim, the employee asserts the employer terminated their employment or took adverse action against them for illegal reasons. Our experienced employment attorneys help clients defend against claims using evidence to show legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for their actions.
Our employment team advises clients with regard to claims of:
- Contract law/employment agreement
- Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
- Invasion of Privacy
- Fraud and Misrepresentation
- Negligent Hiring, Supervision, or Training
- Defamation
- Violated Public Policy
- Discrimination
- Wrongful Termination
