Labor & Employment

Healthy employer-employee relations are often a key factor in the success of a business; conversely, a dysfunctional workplace can frequently lead to the demise of a company. Our attorneys regularly advise business owners on numerous aspects of labor and employments matters, striving at all times to help business owners develop policies and procedures which foster a productive workplace.

We assist clients in the development and preparation of employment agreements, non-competition covenants, employee manuals, employee severance agreements, and other employment-related documents. DARS’ attorneys also advise clients in the implementation of effective employee incentive plans, such as bonus plans, incentive stock option plans, and phantom stock agreements. Our experienced professionals also provide counsel on a variety of management issues, including hiring and termination, wrongful discharge, record-keeping policies and procedures, employee reviews and disciplinary procedures, and intellectual property protection.

Should a dispute arise between a company and one of its employees, including disagreements pertaining to wage and hour laws, DARS’ experienced team of litigators stands ready to maximize the outcome. See Civil Litigation.
