Our attorneys are experienced in defending management against all employment related claims including:

• Employment Litigation - When an employee starts a dispute with an employer, it can create a tense work environment and a great deal of disruption in the day-to-day proceedings at the office. At Levine Law, we aim to help employers reach an amicable agreement with their employees as quickly as possible. Employee lawsuits are an inevitable aspect of business. Luckily, our team of attorneys has the means to help you out of the situation with dignity and grace.
• Harassment & Discrimination - Has an employee brought an internal complaint of harassment or discrimination to management’s attention? Have you already been served with a charge or complaint? If so, we can help.
• EEOC charge representation - Has your business been served with an EEOC charge? Our attorneys can help. We start with a careful review of the charge itself to ensure it has been properly filed. Many times, charges are eligible for dismissal before a response to the specific charge allegations is required. If a more detailed response is warranted, our attorneys are experienced in gathering the pertinent information needed to prepare a winning position statement.
• Employee Handbooks - Courts and state/federal agencies (such as the EEOC) consider the existence or non-existence of an NJ employee handbook as important evidence in determining most employee filed complaints. Having an employee handbook in place oftentimes shields an employer from liability if an employee lawsuit is filed.
• Employment Agreements - Ensuring your NJ employment agreements comply with state and federal law is essential to your ability to enforce these crucial agreements. Our attorneys are experienced in drafting non-competition agreements, non-disclosure agreements, confidentiality agreements, preparing executive and other individual employment agreements and similar documents designed to protect your business and withstand judicial scrutiny.
• Counseling and Training - The Attorneys at the Levine Law Firm are experienced advisors ensuring employers comply with all EEOC requirements, state and federal wage and hour laws, ADA compliance, FMLA, New Jersey Family Leave Act and other state and federal employment laws. Every employment decision can usually be tied to one of these employment laws/regulations.
• Employee Representation - There are a number of federal and state employment laws protecting employees from unfair pay practices, harassment, termination and other workplace discriminatory acts based on race, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, gender, religion, age, disability, pregnancy and others.
