We represent a broad spectrum of employers in manufacturing, high-tech, retail, and service industries.
Clients range in size from five or fewer employees to thousands of employees.
Our employment law counseling practice includes preparing and reviewing employment manuals, employment agreements, and noncompetition agreements, and advising clients regarding employment-related acts such as hiring and terminating employees. We advise clients in connection with all aspects of employment law, including state and federal race, sex, age, and disability discrimination laws, sexual harassment laws, state and federal family medical leave laws, wage and hour requirements, insurance coverage for employment claims, protection of the employer's intellectual property, and related matters. We also assist clients with the training of managers and employees in these areas. Our employment litigation practice focuses on the defense of employment claims, but we have also represented plaintiff employees and former employees. We have pursued or defended employment litigation in Oregon and Washington trial and appellate courts, federal district and appellate courts, and before the EEOC and the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries.
