CSG Law works closely with our clients to carefully craft compliance programs that are essential in today’s business climate. These programs, coupled with a well-planned, well-executed contingency process, result in substantial savings compared to the substantial risk and exposure often associated with drawn-out, highly publicized litigation.
We provide counseling and preparation of the necessary initiatives, policies and procedures employers should have in place to minimize exposure to employment claims – including litigation relating to discrimination, harassment or retaliation lawsuits and other potentially costly actions.
We assist our clients in avoiding, or creatively resolving, employment-related disputes pre-litigation through various forms of alternative dispute resolution whenever possible. However, in cases where litigation cannot be avoided, our seasoned trial attorneys are prepared to vigorously represent employers in federal and state courts, as well as in administrative proceedings before federal and state agencies, in a cost-effective and strategic manner.
Delivering countless training sessions a year to organizations of all sizes, the group provides interactive, live training programs to our clients’ workforce that transform complex regulatory mandates into practical workplace policies and best practices.
