Employment Law
As employment costs consume such a high percentage of gross revenues for employers, and the focus in our society has increasingly been turned towards employment litigation, our firm provides clients with essential advice and counsel, representation, and defense of claims. We have an impressive record of successes for our clients who entrust us with their employment-related matters.
The firm represents clients not only in litigation in federal, district and appellate courts, but also during the administrative process. Our attorneys have handled claims before numerous agencies including:
- Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
- Arkansas and U.S. Departments of Labor
- Employment Security Division
- Arkansas Worker's Compensation Commission
Our experience includes litigation of complex federal court cases, as well as state court litigation. We have successfully represented clients in claims of sexual harassment, race discrimination, Family and Medical Leave Act claims, worker's compensation claims, wrongful termination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, wage and hour violations, and other related claims.
Additionally, we provide employers with expertise in:
- Drafting, implementing, and updating employment handbooks and policies.
- Investigating and documenting on-the-job complaints.
- Remediating problems which arise in the workplace in order to avoid or minimize litigation.
- Training and equipping management in dealing effectively with personnel issues.
In all aspects of human resource law, CNJ provides high quality services designed to assist employers in working through complex federal and state regulatory and statutory schemes, and free employers to concentrate on maximizing their productivity and profitability.
