Jones & Associates represents primarily businesses and management in
employment matters. We provide counseling and legal services with an
emphasis on: (1) prevention, with appropriate employment policies and
procedures in place, and their proper implementation, (2) an equitable and
expeditious resolution of disputes and issues when possible, and (3) a
vigorous and firm defense when necessary.
We routinely provide counseling and legal services in employment litigation
matters, including defending:
• age, race, gender and disability discrimination claims
• retaliatory discharge and breach of contract suits
• breach of fiduciary duty
• defamation, and
• sexual harassment matters.
We also review, draft and provide consultation and advice with respect to:
• employment and compensation agreements of all types, including executive
employment and compensation agreements, agency and sales representative
agreements, and independent contractor agreements
• employer policy manuals and other written employer policies
• employee handbooks, and
• non-competition and non-disclosure agreements
Our experience and understanding of these matters allows us to work with
our clients to examine and modify our clients’ employment practices,
documents and procedures to identify and correct potential problems
before they become expensive confrontations.
Jones & Associates’ approach and advice to our clients in the management of
labor and employment issues can be characterized as no nonsense, matter of
fact, and to the point. The employee has rights, the company has rights and
a business to run, and there is the labor and employment law. The
application of the appropriate balance among these factors normally results
in our recommending fairly clear and precise courses of action for our
client. |
