Employment Law

Our employment attorneys are committed to creating employment contracts designed to comply with Colorado and federal law.  We regularly assist our clients in preparing employment agreements, stock option plans, non-disclosure agreements, non-competition agreements, assignment of invention agreements, employment separation agreements, job descriptions, commission plans, employment policies, employee handbooks and personnel manuals, drug and alcohol testing programs, leave of absence policies, and other employment-related documents. 

Our employment attorneys understand that employers need advice on employment issues before problems arise.  Employment discrimination, workplace investigations, wage-hour issues, employee misconduct and related disciplinary matters, reductions in force, and matters relating to trade secret protection and non-competition obligations are just a few examples of matters we address and resolve for our clients on a regular basis.  We also advise our clients and provide training on a wide variety of issues that impact the workplace, including discrimination, harassment and workplace violence as well as the various employment-related laws and regulations that affect the employer-employee relationship such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Colorado Antidiscrimination Act, and the Colorado Wage Claim Act.

We understand and appreciate that the litigation process is frequently expensive and time-consuming, and our employment attorneys work with our clients in developing creative and effective strategies for resolving workplace disputes in an effort to avoid costly and disruptive litigation.  However, when litigation becomes inevitable, our attorneys have the skill and experience to zealously and effectively represent our clients in nearly every type of employment dispute.  We regularly represent both employers and employees in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies in lawsuits and employment-related claims involving a wide variety of matters including wrongful termination, breach of contract, discrimination, harassment, defamation, trade secrets, covenants not to compete, wage and hour issues, and matters involving employment benefits.
