Advice & Counsel

Overview

The Advice & Counsel practice partners with employers to provide proactive, business-minded legal guidance on non-litigation employment matters. We help clients navigate the complexities of federal, state, and local employment laws before issues escalate.

From employee handbook development, company-wide audits, and compensation plan reviews to employee training, our team delivers timely, strategic support tailored to your workforce and your goals. We’re here to simplify compliance, reduce risk, and strengthen workplace practices across industries.

What Sets Us Apart

Our team brings nationwide reach and deep legal experience to every engagement. With attorneys licensed across the U.S. and a track record of advising clients in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, education, technology, and retail, we understand the unique demands facing today’s employers. Many of our attorneys have litigation backgrounds, giving them a keen eye for identifying risks before they become problems.

In addition to providing ongoing HR guidance, we conduct internal and administrative audits, deliver management and human resources training, and regularly present on key workplace topics including investigations, Equal Employment Opportunity practices, and wage and hour compliance. Whether you need day-to-day HR guidance or support for a complex, multi-state initiative, our team provides practical, collaborative solutions tailored to your organization’s needs.
