Labor & Employment Law
perfect consulting & planning
Employment law is designed to serve as a regulatory device, working our the rights and duties between employers and workers. Also known simply as the labor law, the rules contained in it are primarily designed to keep workers safe and make sure they are treated fairly.
Of course, for the overall balance of things, these laws also ensure that the employers’ interests are just as administered and upheld.
The main task of the labor law is to mediate the relationship of workers (employees), employers, trade unions and the government. Collective labor law relates to the tripartite relationship between employee, employer and union.
If we’re talking about which laws apply for Texas, then we can say that the employees working her are protected by many state and federal employment laws.
Just as the law mediates your relationship between the company and the worker, we want our law firm to be a mediator between you and the appliance of those laws. Here are the services that we provide:
* We litigate in Texas-based and federal courts
* Our attorneys do all the paperwork and negotiations to either uphold your case in trial or in order to achieve the favorable settlements on behalf of employees and workers
* On par with handling separate single cases on behalf of individual employees, we’re also willing to bring class actions too
* Additionally to that, our vast team of attorneys represents employees with claims against their employer of discrimination, sexual harassment, or other improper treatment in violation of labor law.
