Employment Law

FLB Law’s Employment Law Practice represents businesses across all industry sectors, helping them navigate and manage employment law’s dynamic legal and regulatory landscape. The firm provides clients advice and counsel, sharing best practices that support strong business operations, and represents them when litigation arises. We pride ourselves on our strong client relationships rooted in trust and transparency and our approach to client service. We understand there is no one-size-fits-all solution. At FLB Law, we approach each client engagement holistically, deriving solutions that meet our clients’ goals and objectives without compromising their reputation within their industry, community or business. We draw on our full complement of services to address our clients’ employment law needs and leverage our litigation experience to anticipate and solve challenges before they arise. 

Providing Advice & Counsel to Mitigate Litigation

FLB Law attorneys work closely with senior management and human resource executives to create policies and procedures that help mitigate litigation, such as reviewing and drafting employee handbooks, employment and termination agreements, and severance packages. We also audit and develop our clients’ sensitivity training programs and ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and other federal and state labor laws. As a full-service law firm, FLB Law’s Employment Law Practice draws on the firm’s full complement of services to draft and advise on:

  • Confidentiality Agreements

  • Employee Classification Issues

  • Employment Contracts 

  • Non-compete and Non-solicitation Agreements

  • Other Restrictive Covenants

  • Termination Agreements

  • Wage and Hour Concerns

Protecting Our Clients Throughout Litigation

Our goal is to protect our clients by minimizing the risk of litigation. But even with the most valiant efforts, litigations arise. Compliance with every law and regulation can be overwhelming, especially during unprecedented times like these where mandates and laws can change daily. But even 100 percent compliance cannot stop a disgruntled employee from finding cause to file suit. Our clients benefit from the breadth and depth of our experience litigating employment matters. We have seen and litigated nearly every type of claim and as a result we know the possible strategies to resolve it successfully. We work directly with businesses and represent insurers and their Employment Practice Liability Insurance policyholders in litigation involving: 

  • Americans with Disabilities Act

  • Breach of Confidentiality

  • Breach of Contract

  • Discrimination Claims

  • Family Leave Act 

  • Wage and Hour Claims

  • Wrongful Termination

We regularly appear before state and federal courts and when appropriate, utilize alternative dispute resolution mechanisms – arbitration and mediation – to resolve matters efficiently and cost-effectively. We also represent clients before administrative entities including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Connecticut Department of Labor, and the Connecticut Worker’s Compensation Board.
