The proliferation of state and federal laws creating employee rights has prompted an increasing number of lawsuits that make their way into the legal system. We recognize that clients expect and deserve quality litigation services, which are delivered efficiently and cost effectively.
Our litigators are trial lawyers admitted to practice in state and federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court. Collectively, these attorneys have successfully tried scores of cases before juries and judges throughout the country. Our trial lawyers represent management at all stages of employment disputes including hearings, trials and appeals on both a state and federal level. We also represent public sector clients before civil service boards and other administrative entities, including litigation of such matters as harassment and discrimination, retaliation and employee discipline.
In addition to representation of management in employment disputes, we also represent clients in related business litigation. We litigate such matters as employment contracts, trade secrets, unfair competition and covenants not to compete.
Preventing protracted litigation is always a key goal and Ford & Harrison attorneys are leaders in achieving results through preventive strategies. Our Alternative Dispute Resolution practice is a natural adjunct to our litigation services.
We have significant experience in class action litigation. We have an excellent record of defeating class certification in cases where we have been lead counsel. Our expertise in defending class action lawsuits translates into significant cost savings and victories for our employer clients.
