Employment

People are your company’s greatest resource, but they can also be a source of significant risk. Businesses must be prepared to navigate a labyrinth of complex federal, state, and local laws and regulations spanning the entire employment relationship, from hiring to termination.

Dunlap, Bennett & Ludwig’s employment team has the expertise and experience necessary to understand the complex challenges that employers face. We are dedicated to helping our clients prepare for an ever-evolving minefield of employment-related risks.

Our experience in employment law and litigation

The employment lawyers at Dunlap, Bennett & Ludwig have a deep understanding of federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). We assist clients in navigating the claims process, conducting investigations, and developing effective litigation defense strategies. We also handle wage and hour matters, including those involving the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), such as wage and hour audits, employee classification, and payroll practices.

Additionally, we help businesses develop employment policies, handbooks, and training programs that comply with applicable laws and regulations and align with their culture and business objectives. And we draft noncompete agreements, confidentiality agreements, and other employment contracts that protect employers’ trade secrets and proprietary information.

When crises arise, we step in to offer creative, impactful solutions that reduce business disruption and protect your company’s reputation.
