Employment Law

Since the advent of extensive civil rights legislation in the 1960's, Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLC has counseled and represented employers in virtually every industry and region of our nation concerning legal claims of discrimination, wrongful discharge, sexual harassment and individual rights violations before state and federal equal employment agencies and in the courts.  The firm's affirmative action planning and diversity initiatives help federal contractors comply with government mandates in a constructive manner.

From an employment perspective, no lawsuit can be considered in a vacuum.  Management prerogatives, employee relations and future liabilities are implicit issues in every legal attack on any employment decision from hiring to firing and from mergers and acquisitions to reductions in force.  Our firm's lawyers strive to help employers minimize the risk of litigation while promoting sound employee relations practices.  In this respect, we have a long history of assisting clients in employee relations strategies designed to maximize employee morale and manage those inherent risks in today's workplace which can affect our clients' bottom line.
