Labor and Employment Law
The employer-employee relationship is among the most regulated in the country. The mission of Lloyd Gosselink’s Labor and Employment Law Practice Group is to keep our clients out of trouble and off the witness stand by providing straight-forward and common sense advice on navigating through the complexities of employment laws, prompt response to employee complaints, quality, useful training in an accessible and entertaining format, and serious representation in the face of claims. If a matter does end up in court, we work closely with the Litigation & ADR Practice Group to ensure thorough and effective representation. We understand the real world business needs of our clients, and always keep those in mind when helping them work through their employment-related issues.
Our employment law team assists public and private sector employers in all aspects of employment law, including:
- Advising employers on hiring and performance management issues
- Planning and assessment of business decisions affecting personnel
- Understanding public sector employers' special compliance challenges
- Auditing human resources systems and practices for legal compliance
- Drafting and reviewing personnel policies, forms and employment contracts
- Conducting internal investigations
- Defending employers in audits, administrative proceedings, and litigation
- Investigating and negotiating demands
- Conducting training on employment law, workplace harassment, litigation avoidance, ethics, and best management practices
Our attorneys regularly represent clients before government agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Texas Commission on Human Rights, the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Board, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, the National Labor Relations Board, the Texas Workforce Commission, arbitrators, local civil service commissions, and state and federal courts.
