Employment Law Attorneys

Greater Philadelphia · Pennsylvania · New Jersey

At Wynn McGarry, we offer comprehensive client service to employers of all sizes on all aspects of the employment relationship. Our law firm advises employers about employee litigation risk management, personnel policies and complaint investigation procedures, and defense of civil litigation or administrative proceedings involving claims of discrimination or harassment. To learn more about the scope of our services on behalf of Pennsylvania and New Jersey employers, contact an experienced employment law attorney at our Suburban Philadelphia law firm.

Our lawyers can work with you to minimize the risk of lawsuits filed by employees on issues ranging from wage and hour claims to sexual harassment. We can train your supervisors about compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and other state and federal statutes that affect an employer's management prerogatives.

We can also help your company develop and document formal policies concerning compensation and benefits, workplace violence, race or sex discrimination, Internet use, business ethics, and other matters that are frequent subjects of employment litigation. Our lawyers can help you preserve the employment at will character of your workforce, and also help avoid and resolve problems with independent contractor and temporary employee relationships. We can also keep you and your managers advised on a regular basis on changes in both federal and state employment law and regulations.

While the most effective approach to employment litigation is to anticipate and prevent the most common grounds for complaint, there will always be difficult employees who are only too eager to take the boss to court. We can advise you about specific situations where suspension or termination are options, and we can also help you cut your losses in situations where a finding of liability against the employer is likely.

In cases where litigation is your only practical alternative, our courtroom experience and understanding of state and federal employment law can represent a powerful advantage for the employer in such employee lawsuits as the following:

• Age, race, or sex discrimination
• Sexual harassment
• Wage and hour claims
• Wrongful termination claims
• Trade secrets, confidentiality agreements, and restrictive covenants
• Disputes over pregnancy leave, health insurance benefits, or disability issues
• Workers' compensation claims
• Unemployment compensation claims

Our employment law attorneys can also represent and enforce your company's interests with respect to the employee relations aspects of such business or corporate transactions as mergers, acquisitions, dissolutions, or structural reorganizations.
