Wrongful Termination

In an "at-will" employment setting, employers retain the latitude to terminate employees for a multitude of reasons, even without cause, as long as these actions remain within legal and ethical boundaries.

Whistleblower Retaliation

Robust federal and state whistleblower statutes stand as bulwarks against employer retaliation when employees expose purportedly illicit actions to the pertinent state or federal authorities.

Employment Contracts & Agreements

Employment agreements, when documented in writing, comprehensively outline various facets of employment.
