● Draft and revise employee handbooks to ensure their compliance with ever-evolving regulation and legislation;
● Counsel employers on federal and state wage and hour issues, and, where required, litigate cases in various courts;
● Working collaboratively with transactional counsel, advise private equity investors and developers on the labor and employment issues attendant to the purchase or sale of residential and commercial properties;
● Advise employers with respect to, and draft both employment and severance agreements;
● Create and deliver training presentations for supervisors to ensure compliance with a myriad of employment issues, including New York-mandated sexual harassment training; and
● On a regular basis update employers on new legislation potentially affecting their operations.
