Knowledgeable lawyer handles wide-ranging labor and employment law matters
We have handled an enormous number of TROI preliminary injunction hearings in recruiting cases, many in financial services industry but also for accountants, engineers, insurance brokers and agents, physicians, veterinarians, accountants, dentists and various types of salespeople. Georgia Law changed in this area in 2011, and we are on the leading edge in resolving cases under the new statute. Having primarily represented employees for most of our practice, generally at the expense of the recruiting firm, we have recently made a turn toward representing employers enforcing their agreements under the new, more employer-friendly law. We have extensive experience in the trade secret and electronic discovery issue which arise in these types of cases.We also have extensive experience in Title VII, Americans with Disabilities Act, Family Medical Leave Act and ERISA cases, again some for employers, others for employees. Some of these claims from the employer's perspective are insured, and we bring 39 years of insurance coverage experience to bear in favor of our insured employer clients.Employment Law Focus Areas
01.
– Employee Restrictive Covenants
Enforceability of employee restrictive covenants is strictly a matter of state law. We have litigated/arbitrated these cases in about 20 states and have nearly unparalleled experience in choice of law and forum selection clause issues. We are an asset whenever your case is pending. Mr. Dalziel maintains the law in all 50 states on these topics in his office.
02.
– Federal Law Employment Claims
These may be covered by an EPLI policy. Employers should be represented by counsel who understand the favorable nature of federal employment law for employers. Employees should be represented by counsel who understand the playing field and the need potentially to pursue other claims or to pursue federal claims in an alternative forum.
03.
– State Law Employment Claims
Often involve not a challenge to the adverse employment decision but instead are an effort to recover every dime of earned compensation for the terminated employee. In one case although we did not challenge the termination we recovered $1.2 million of earned compensation not paid. For another terminated employee, we recovered $4.2 million for post termination defamation under state law.
