Carol Noonan advises and defends employers in a broad range of employment and general litigation matters. She focuses on defending discrimination, retaliation, interference, and harassment claims involving employee medical and health issues under federal and state laws relating to ill or injured workers, such as the Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Oregon disability discrimination and workers' compensation discrimination statutes. Her other litigation work includes representing employers in disputes involving other forms of employment discrimination, retaliation and harassment, wage-and-hour laws, and wrongful discharge in federal and state courts and before the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Many of Carol's litigation clients are employers in the healthcare and manufacturing industries.

Carol's counseling practice covers advice on litigation avoidance, particularly with respect to managing ill or injured workers, as well as all types of employment matters, and includes training of both managers and staff. She also focuses on drafting and reviewing employment-related agreements and policies.
