Litigation of Employment Disputes
Overview
Sometimes your company’s reputation is on the line. Sometimes your whole company is. You’ll want effective and strong litigators by your side when you head to court, whether you’re defending a single plaintiff case or facing bet-the-company litigation.
The Fisher Phillips Litigation Practice Group knows that sometimes a fight cannot be avoided. When it comes time to square off against an employee, a former worker, a competitor, or some other third party, we bring a strong team of litigators to zealously advocate on your behalf. We have achieved a string of great successes by employing creative, cost-effective, and cutting-edge tactics.
Trial Lawyers
Our attorneys will represent you in any federal or state court across the country, as well as before any administrative agency or commission where a claim has been brought against you. You benefit from our extensive experience in handling jury trials, litigation, employee lawsuits, class and collective actions, private arbitration proceedings, and unfair labor practice charges. We also stand ready to assist you with any compliance actions initiated by government agencies. In every case we litigate, your business goals are our foremost objective.
Bet-The-Company Litigation
When the stakes are highest, we’re at our best. When you call on us, you can feel confident that you have an experienced team at your side that you can trust when your company’s future is at stake. Whether it is a string of damaging lawsuits, a claim of systemic discrimination, a complex piece of litigation, an invasive government investigation, or a massive class action hanging over your head, you’ll be comforted to know that our Litigation Practice Group is representing your interests.
Efficient Disposal of Claims
Sometimes you don’t have the time or resources to wage an all-out war against your opponent. While you don’t want to signal to the other side that you don’t have the stomach for a protracted fight, you also don’t want to engage in “rat maze” litigation where there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Our attorneys team up with you at the outset of our representation to craft a strategy specifically tailored to your needs, and then plot a course to reach your goals in the most efficient manner possible. This could include alternative dispute resolution techniques, creative use of motions practice or other civil procedure tactics, or other uniquely designed courses of action.
