Labor and Employment Law & Litigation

Most employers can’t get their heads around the complex rules governing employees--hiring and firing, discrimination, overtime, sick leave--which manager has time to know it all? As practitioners in labor and employment law who exclusively represent management, we advise our clients clearly and promptly so they can avoid needless government investigations and costly lawsuits, which gives them peace of mind about their businesses.

At Kirk, Huth, Lange & Badalamenti PLC, the nature of our Labor and Employment Law practice often immerses us in complex relationships between organizations and individuals. Our primary goal is to serve as creative and innovative problem solvers in resolving labor and employment disputes. We strive to bring closure to labor and employment law problems in a manner that is not only in the best interest of the organization in the short term but also over time. We seek integrative solutions to complex issues, helping employers explore the full range of their options in order to find answers that meet their needs. In this way, we can often bring cost-effective resolutions to issues without the need for expensive and time-consuming litigation.

While our primary focus is on integrative problem solving, no effective law firm can expect to be successful in these efforts without being prepared, when necessary, to litigate on behalf of its clients. To this end, our attorneys have extensive courtroom experience.

Our employment litigators defend individual and corporate parties in a full gamut of matters arising from the relationship between employers and their applicants, employees and former employees.   Our extensive experience encompasses judicial, administrative and arbitral forums.

We have successfully opposed complaints alleging wrongful discharge, breach of employment contracts, workplace harassment or misconduct, whistleblower protection claims, compensation and insurance disputes, negligent hiring and retention, and discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, color, religion, national origin, disability/handicap, sexual orientation or other classification. We have also represented corporate claimants in need of prompt action to prevent a violation of an employment contract, disclosure of a trade secret or breach of a confidentiality or non-compete agreement. Our experience further extends to successfully litigating cases of libel, slander, defamation, assault and battery, false arrest, and any other matter that arises out of or relates to the employment relationship.

Your case will be handled by a partner with experience with jury and non-jury trial litigation.  Our collective expertise allows us to fiercely litigate your case while priding ourselves on efficiency.  Contact us today.  We are ready to take on your case.
