Employment Law
Since McLain & Merritt P.C. is primarily a litigation firm, our attorneys have extensive experience representing employers before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and defending suits filed in state and federal court involving alleged employment discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, employment contract litigation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination and Employment Act, and other related areas. Our practice in this area also includes providing pre-litigation advice and seminars to employers. As part of this service, we provide seminars for the training of management level employees with specific emphasis on how to structure the employment setting to avoid claims and litigation. Our training inventory also includes educational materials to be used by employers to comply with the affirmative defense requirements set forth in the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in City of Boca Raton vs. Beth Ann Faragher for introducing anti-harassment/discrimination issues to employees. The area of Employment Law is one of the fastest growing areas of litigation in this country, and is an area in which we place a significant emphasis. We invite you to contact us if you have a question in this area.

The practice of Employment Law includes a complex network of federal and state statutes and regulations that govern how employers are required to treat applicants for employment, employees, and former employees with regard to the terms and conditions of employment and other matters. The attorneys who practice in our Employment Law Practice Group have significant experience in the interpretation of these state and federal regulations, as well as the related case law.
