The best outcome is often the one that keeps clients out of the courtroom, however, we are fully prepared to litigate when necessary. Our team defends clients before administrative agencies and in state and federal courts in matters involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage and hour law, misclassification, and restrictive covenants.

We draft and enforce non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, conduct workplace investigations and employee training, defend against wrongful termination and discrimination claims, and offer independent investigations into allegations of discrimination, harassment, and misconduct. We also train managers and employees on creating inclusive, legally compliant workplaces. Our approach emphasizes collaboration and education, helping employers reduce exposure, improve culture, and support fair employment practices that hold up under scrutiny.

We also advise on a broad range of federal and state employment laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML), and the Massachusetts Wage Act. Our team also provides proactive guidance on compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), COBRA, and the WARN Act.

Additionally, we overlap with Rubin Rudman’s Higher Education practice supporting colleges and universities in building legally sound policies and responding to administrative complaints with discretion and authority.
