OUR APPROACH
We encourage our clients to maximize employee morale and productivity through good business practices, that fully comply with numerous state and federal employment regulations and laws. We are dedicated to helping our employer clients achieve that goal and avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. However, in cases when litigation is unavoidable, we are fully prepared to protect the rights of our clients in administrative hearings, arbitrations and litigation.
RESOURCES
We aid our clients by drafting employment contracts, confidentiality and trade secret agreements, employee handbooks, arbitration agreements and business policies. We also provide invaluable training for employees, managers and human resources personnel to enable prompt and fair response to employment issues as they arise, and to ensure maximum possible compliance with the law. de la Peña & Holiday lawyers are well versed in all aspects of labor-management issues, including advice in collective bargaining and representation in grievance/arbitrations, unfair labor practice charges and union representation matters.
MEDIATION, ARBITRATION AND LITIGATION
