EMPLOYMENT LAW Sexual harassment, wrongful termination, racial-hiring bias, breach of contract, age discrimination. The list of these highly combustible and potentially damaging accusations goes on and on, hovering over companies like a dark cloud, threatening to descend and engulf their hard-earned reputations along with their profits. Increasingly, corporate America finds itself tiptoeing through the minefield that has become employee relations and hiring, being hit at a moment's notice with charges of wronging employees or potential employees. Our highly skilled employment law attorneys at Bonne, Bridges, Mueller, O'Keefe & Nichols aggressively defend and counsel small and large companies in all facets of state and federal employment and labor law. Such as:     sexual harassment     employment discrimination wrongful termination family and medical leave laws age discrimination ADA litigation Title VII litigation wage and hour issues unfair competition invasion of privacy claims trade secret law breach of contract workplace safety and violence issues employee classifications issues hiring matters (references, interviewing, etc.) child labor laws leave of absence laws drug testing whistle-blower laws record-keeping employee handbooks and policies contract issues liability for and to third parties internal investigations religious discrimination sexual orientation discrimination We offer lawyers who specialize in all facets of employment law. They have built a reputation for successfully defending companies, large and small, in numerous major civil court cases. We also provide quality risk management services to our clients to help them avoid litigation altogether. While other law firms may tout employment law as their specialty, our unrivaled skills as trial attorneys elevate us onto an entirely different playing field. We are highly successful in getting cases settled or dismissed outright. There are several reasons for this: First, we assemble an aggressive team on your behalf comprising associates, researchers and support personnel. Team members have but one goal: to get to the bottom of the accusation, find and expose its flaws, and get it off your shoulders. Second, we are uniquely skilled at building bulletproof defense strategies and powerfully communicating them to trial juries. And third, many plaintiffs' attorneys-hesitant to challenge our formidable trial success rate of more than 95%—make the wise business decision to settle before the case reaches trial.
