Employment and Labor Law

The Health Law Group's employment lawyers provide advice to healthcare employers throughout the country. The firm is experienced in representing public and private, as well as nonprofit and for profit, healthcare organizations in employment, employee benefit, immigration, executive compensation and union matters. Our knowledge of the healthcare industry enables us to quickly understand and help solve the unique problems and concerns affecting this industry.

The firm's traditional labor lawyers provide strategic advice, counsel and representation of healthcare organizations in response to union organizing campaigns and representation (e.g., union) election proceedings, help negotiate and administer collective bargaining agreements, assist nonunion employers to maintain a union-free work force, and defend unfair labor practice charges. We regularly represent healthcare organizations before the NLRB and state labor boards on labor relations matters. Our traditional labor lawyers have considerable experience with strike planning and prevention.

The firm's employment lawyers also defend healthcare employers in single plaintiff and class action discrimination, wrongful termination, wage and hour, and unfair competition lawsuits. They regularly represent employers before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, local and state anti-discrimination agencies, and other federal and state agencies which regulate employers, such as OSHA, the Department of Labor, or state labor or industry commissions. The firm also advises healthcare employers on personnel policies and handbooks, conducts training sessions for healthcare human resources professionals and managers, audits employer compliance with the wage and hour laws, assists with layoffs, reorganizations and hospital work redesign programs, and provides cost effective counsel on other employment-related matters.
