Labor, Employment & Worker’s Compensation
Labor law focuses on the relationship between employees and unions under the National Labor Relations Act. Employment law addresses relations between employers and individual employees, including charges of discrimination. Our Worker’s Compensation team defends employers of all sizes against employees’ alleged work injury claims. The Worker’s Compensation team also advises employers as to best practices in preventing and defending claims.
Regulated working hours, minimum wage, child labor restrictions and laws governing safe work conditions are all examples of Wage & Hour Law and OSHA Law.
From large organizations with complex issues, to small or mid -sized companies in need of employee relation matters, May Oberfell Lorber takes a practical, relationship-based approach to resolving your labor, employment law and human resource counselling needs.
