Employment disputes are a reality that face many employers today. Consequently, employers must not only have effective, up-to-date employment policies, but need to make a concerted effort to train and counsel management on both avoiding and handling employment disputes.
Employers must select attorneys with more than just experience. To effectively defend and resolve employment litigation, an employer needs attorneys with a special blend of sensitivity and aggressiveness. Fox Galvin attorneys have that unique blend of skills to deal with the often inflammatory and personalized nature of employees’ claims, and the bias of many jurors against corporations.
At Fox Galvin, we not only litigate employment-related lawsuits, we are prepared to train and counsel employers in the areas of harassment, discrimination, wage and hour law, and contract disputes. Fox Galvin attorneys have successfully litigated and resolved a variety of employment-related matters in both Missouri and Illinois, including cases involving retaliatory discharge (whistle-blower allegations); age, race, disability, and gender discrimination; pregnancy discrimination; wage and hour law violations; Family Medical Leave Act claims; and Equal Pay Act claims. Our lawyers have appeared before state and federal courts and various administrative agencies enforcing civil rights and employment matters.
Should you require our services in any employment-related matter, please contact Ron Fox, Jon Garside, Richard Korn or John Allen.
