Employment & Labor Law

We help employers create workplaces where people can thrive — and where legal compliance supports, rather than hinders, organizational goals. Our employment and labor team counsels public and private employers, businesses, and institutions across Oregon on the full range of issues affecting their workforces.

When we represent you in labor and employment matters, we know that maintaining a successful business and the well-being of your employees are your top and equal priorities. Therefore, we work to minimize the time you focus on legal issues by keeping you well-informed and offering you sound legal advice. Because we have deep experience working with businesses, agricultural concerns, and all manner of public institutions, we are focused on the constantly evolving laws that affect your field. That means we have a head start in developing a quick understanding of the intricacies of the matter and can, in short order, recommend efficient and cost-effective solutions.

We believe in working with owners and managers to design and implement business plans, policies, and employment agreements. When disputes arise, we act swiftly to determine the best plan of action. We are well-equipped to defend our clients in all aspects of employment matters, including claims of unfair labor practices, wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, and civil rights violations. No business is immune to being sued, and we are here to protect our clients at all times and whenever necessary.
