The pace of business can move so rapidly that it’s no small challenge for a growing small to medium-sized company to stay compliant with employee regulations, management and employee training, and policy updates. That’s why such businesses turn to our labor and employment attorneys at DiMonte & Lizak. By drafting customized paperwork around the most appropriate policies and agreements, we can protect your business’ best interests from a place that is constantly in tune with complex state and federal law statutes.
Of course, even when a company has updated its policies and communicated with its employees clearly, there’s no guarantee that a current or former employee won’t bring a claim against management. When this occurs, it can raise new questions about company ethics and be an unwanted distraction to your environment. In this event, DiMonte & Lizak’s attorneys move swiftly in an effort to minimize this impact with aggressive planning and thorough, prompt investigating. If the case can be negotiated without litigation, we will provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision on the appropriate course of action. However, if litigation is the most appropriate route, our legal team that has argued a variety of employment law cases on the state and federal level is more than prepared to do so on your behalf.
