Core Services

• Regulatory Representation: We navigate through the often-changing rules and regulations about job discrimination, union avoidance, overtime, family and medical leave, job safety, federal contract compliance, affirmative action and the Davis-Bacon and Service Contract Acts.
• Benefits Design and Compliance: We prepare and administer qualified and nonqualified retirement plans and fringe benefits plans.
• Union Negotiation and Disputes: We negotiate collective bargaining agreements and represent employers in union grievances, arbitrations and in NLRB unfair labor practice charges.
• Litigation and ADR: We litigate every type of labor and employment claim. We go to trial when necessary but also seek alternate dispute resolution when appropriate.
• Business Immigration: We assist businesses and their employees in obtaining, strategizing, and complying with work visas, investor visas, employment-based green cards, permanent residence for talented individuals, and other documentation.
• Workplace Safety and OSHA: We address health, safety, and security issues companies face by advising of significant developments and enforcement trends, as well as defending companies following citations from OSHA, OHS, MSHA, or other agencies.
