From the daily legal matters that face all employers to the one-of-a-kind challenges that need to be resolved immediately, the McBrayer law firm provides comprehensive employment law services. Our attorneys' in-depth knowledge of this area of the law has benefited employers ranging in size from small, family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Our clients turn to us, and keep turning to us, because we are committed to meeting their needs.
Meeting The Needs Of Employers
Our law firm handles all of the legal issues employers face. Some of the services we commonly provide are:
- HR training
- Creation of employee manuals
- Employment contracts
- Employment litigation
Human Resources Training Services
Our lawyers conduct regular seminars on hot topics in the area of human resources and employment policy and procedure. We conduct seminars to educate clients on changes in the law that will impact them. These seminars are often conducted in our office. We are also available to do on-site seminars, not only for employers and their human resources departments, but for entire staffs, depending on the topic.
The Power Of Proactive Measures
Employment litigation is costly and time-consuming. Our goal is to work with our clients to assess and eliminate litigation risk. By putting our experience and our knowledge of this frequently changing area of the law to work, we are able to help our clients avoid disputes and, more importantly, create strong and lasting relationships with their employees. This is as important for locally owned restaurants and their chefs and wait staff as it is for large health care businesses and their doctors and CEOs.
