Hiring and Firing Issues

Federal, state, and municipal law creates a wide array of restrictions on the hiring or termination of certain employees or applicants. Each jurisdiction governs unlawfully discriminatory practices, criminal or consumer credit background checks, retaliation, whistleblower protection, disability accommodations, mass reductions in workforce, and several other areas of law. We assist in crafting hiring and firing policies that conform to these laws, and advise clients before making employment decisions that may potentially create future disputes.
