Labor, Employment & Employee Benefits

In all labor there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty

People are essential to your business. When it comes to employing them, however, few things are ever simple. Their legal rights, personal needs and cultural expectations present both opportunities and risks.

The laws and regulations governing relationships between employers and employees are complex, confusing and sometimes contradictory. If you don't know your rights - or respect theirs - your productivity, profitability and reputation can all suffer.

At Albei & Albei Law Offices, we understand that business success requires legally sound, strategically savvy labor and employment policies and practices. In this respect, our practitioners have extensive experience in defending employers in administrative proceedings, arbitration and court action, including individual claims and collective actions and class actions. Such defense includes wrongful discharge, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, whistleblower, compensation, work-related personal injuries, privacy, protection of intellectual privacy and other employment-related claims.

Our employment law litigators have prosecuted a wide variety of cases on behalf of employers, including claims of unfair competition, protection of intellectual property, employee disloyalty and breach of restrictive covenants.
