Representation of Employees

In our practice, we represent employees who have been discriminated against by their employers, including handicap discrimination, age discrimination, sex discrimination, race discrimination, and other discrimination claims. Additionally, we represent employees with the following:

  • Racial and sexual harassment claims
  • Employment contract disputes
  • Wage and hour disputes
  • Wrongful discharge lawsuits
  • FMLA claims
  • Whistle-blowing retaliation

Because Wisconsin is an at-will employment state, employers may fire an individual without notice or cause. However, if you have an employment claim, you must file the claim within 300 days of the discriminatory act. Our firm works to quickly evaluate the case. We review what occurred and why our client believes the act was discrimination or wrongful termination. We question the evidence and search for motivations for the discrimination. Additionally we question what proof the employer will provide to cast doubt on motivations. Through this process, we are better prepared to litigate or successfully settle your claim.

Representation of Employers

To avoid claims for employment discrimination, including national origin, age, sex, disability, and race discrimination, our attorneys advise and counsel employers on many employment law and personnel issues. We assist employers with the following:

  • Drafting employee handbooks
  • Employment contracts
  • Contracts to protect trade secrets
  • Non competition agreements
  • Breach of employment contracts lawsuits
  • Compliance with personnel laws
  • Compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act
  • Drug testing issues
  • Representation before the EEOC or the Wisconsin ERD
  • Defense of discrimination claims

If you are an employer facing discrimination or harassment claims, it is important to consult an experienced lawyer immediately to evaluate the evidence and discuss your defense. Our Madison employment discrimination lawyers work to prove there was not motivation for the discrimination and discredit any evidence against you.

Additionally, our firm is experienced negotiating and drafting non compete agreements. These agreements are very difficult to get approved by the courts in Wisconsin. Therefore, it is imperative to consult with an attorney to draft an effective contract.
