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.
