Areas of Our Expertise

Nelson and Murdock’s Employment and Labor practice stands out for its pragmatic, innovative, and proactive counsel, reflecting our adeptness at interpreting and responding to the ever-evolving landscape of employment laws. In the face of rapidly changing regulations, we excel in identifying and managing client risk, providing strategic litigation avoidance counseling, drafting employment agreements, including severance agreement s and restrictive covenants, and efficiently resolving sensitive workplace employment matters. This allows our clients to concentrate on their core business and employment activities.
 

As a comprehensive team, our employment and labor lawyers place a distinct emphasis on the strategic development of creative yet practical preventive measures for employees and employers. At the same time our goal is to keep clients in compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws, thus mitigating the risk of litigation while enabling them to achieve their business objectives.
 

In instances where disputes or litigation arise, our experienced Employment Litigation team steps in with creative solutions backed by substantial trial experience. We have a proven track record of securing favorable verdicts or reaching notable settlements for our clients in hundreds of employment cases across various courts and forums in the United States and the world. We specialize in defending both domestic and internationally headquartered employers and employees regardless of size, title, in single-plaintiff, class, representative (Private Attorneys General Act), and collective actions.
 

Our clientele spans the global business landscape, serving as outside counsel to employees, C-Level executives, corporations, business entities, and partnerships of varying sizes and types. From emerging companies to Fortune 100 corporations, our practice caters to a diverse array of industries, including entertainment, technology, advertising and media, hospitality, professional sports leagues and clubs, financial services, retail, nonprofit, natural foods, and health care.
