Labor & Employment

About

Provided by Bell Nunnally & Martin

From issues of executive mobility to employment policies and claims of misconduct, our experienced attorneys assist business owners in managing the day-to-day maze of laws governing the workplace. Recognizing that employment problems can, and frequently do, turn into lawsuits, our employment lawyers also bring considerable courtroom prowess as zealous advocates protecting clients’ interests.

Whether providing advice on a sticky personnel matter, setting up a company’s policies and procedures handbook or defending a collective-action overtime wage lawsuit with hundreds of claimants, our deep experience in state and federal employment matters help clients to mitigate the risk associated with their most important company asset – their people.
