Employment Practices Liability
KDVG’s Employment Practices Liability (EPL) practice includes sexual harassment, employment discrimination and wrongful discharge defense. Our attorneys represent insurance carriers and their insureds as well as private companies before state and federal courts, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the United States Department of Labor, state and local human rights agencies. We also litigate employment claims in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, and California.
In addition to litigation, we advise clients on day-to-day issues in employer-employee relationships:
- employment discrimination,
- sexual harassment,
- employee discipline and discharge,
- how to prevent claims from arising,
- workplace legislation and compliance,
- wage and hour investigations under state labor laws and the Fair Labor Standards Act
- how to present themselves as insurable risks when applying for or renewing coverage.
Our attorneys also develop lawful corporate policies and procedures, employee handbooks, employment applications, employment contracts and restrictive covenants.
