Employment Litigation |
Overview
Most employers strive to avoid costly litigation with present, former, or even prospective employees. Unfortunately, that is sometimes impossible. Perkins Coie's Labor & Employment lawyers regularly appear in state and federal courts around the country to defend employers against claims of discrimination, wrongful discharge, wage-hour violations and other employment-related claims. With nationwide scope, our labor and employment group is positioned to handle a broad range of matters, from conventional individual cases to nationwide class actions and "bet-the-company" noncompete or trade secret cases.
Our group is characterized by regular and substantial trial experience, which provides us with the right tools for effective, efficient and successful case handling. We work with clients to resolve disputes in a manner that's in line with their business interests—whether it is through an alternative dispute resolution or through trial. In addition, our motions practice is often successful in having either entire cases, or significant parts of cases dismissed.
Our lawyers have handled hundreds of individual litigation matters for both major companies and smaller enterprises, both private and public. We are equally familiar with lengthy and complex multi-plaintiff or class action employment litigation, and have a successful track record of taking employment class actions to trial – and winning.
