HR Compliance, Training & Transactions

Overview

We partner with our clients on the development and implementation of proactive strategies designed to anticipate and resolve employment issues. Mitigating the risk of employment-related claims and litigation through compliance with local, state, national, and international employment laws, while promoting positive employee relations, can be challenging. We know how to manage this balance. Our professionals offer solutions-oriented counsel and resources to address the full array of human resources issues in ways that reflect our understanding of your organization, resources, and priorities. We conduct and advise on value-based audits and risk assessments in areas such as personnel policies, wage-and-hour compliance, and hiring, promotion, and compensation practices. And we work with you to develop and deliver innovative, practical in-house training programs on various workplace issues, ensuring compliance and arming you with the best means of preventing and defending against costly litigation. We support federal contractors in complying with Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) obligations and affirmative action reporting requirements and provide representation during OFCCP audits. Should your organization be involved in a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, domestically or internationally, we understand the technical and legal implications of such transactions on the workforce and offer practical and nuanced counsel.
