Labor and Employment Practices Liability

Smith Sovik has extensive experience helping businesses throughout the Northeast strengthen their labor and employment practices. This includes developing employee handbooks and company policies, investigating claims of misconduct, offering advice on employee discipline or termination, representing clients at mediations and arbitrations and defending clients in the Federal and State courts.

Because employee issues often arise unexpectedly and require swift action, we respond immediately to potential discrimination, sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims. Our proactive approach resolves potential claims before they are even commenced.

Our lawyers have handled cases regarding a variety of statutes, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Equal Pay Act (EPA), 42 U.S.C. Section 1981 (1981 claims) and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.  So when our clients choose to litigate, they know their case is being defended by a seasoned, successful trial lawyer.

I cannot thank Kevin Hulslander enough for the incredible job he did with my case. As I said, it is not easy having an attorney for a client, but from the very first meeting and each meeting thereafter, Kevin was both professional, extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and patient as you welcomed my input, even when unsolicited…. You were responsive, informative, and made me feel like a priority. Your expertise in contact litigation led to a successful outcome that exceeded my expectations. Again, not an easy accomplishment with an attorney for a client! I highly recommend The Smith Sovik Law Firm.
