No matter your business type or industry, you will eventually end up facing the disgruntled employee who puts you at risk for litigation.
Human resources philosophies have evolved so much in the past two decades as we strive to create work environments that balance the needs of a company with the rights of the employee. However, all of those advances still do not solve the fundamental problem of an employee who has gone off the proverbial rails. At Doyle Schafer McMahon, LLP, we are a committed group of employer representation lawyers. We can not only defend you against frivolous lawsuits, but we can also help foster a culture of prevention by giving your business a firm legal foundation. Here are just a few of the ways we can help.
- Disgruntled or terminated employees put your trade secrets at risk, and face the temptation to do as much damage to your business as possible. We can help craft trade secret protection measures, such as legally binding non-disclosure agreements for all employees.
- The most common complaint of terminated employees is that they were treated unfairly. You need to craft well-constructed, legally acceptable employee counseling and discipline Likewise, you need to build into your hiring process a way for employees to acknowledge that they have been trained and understand these procedures.
- Your executive and employee contracts offer your best prevention against future litigation. We can help you craft contracts that plan for any contingency, including non-compete clauses. Regardless of the size of your business, you truly want to take the time to secure an adequate employee contract that protects your interests.
While these are just a few examples, Doyle Shafer McMahon offers comprehensive legal services that target businesses, corporations, and other employers. We want to help you create a healthy work environment that still protects your interests and reputation. To schedule a consultation, contact our office or call (949) 727-7077 for assistance.
