Our firm represents employers in a wide variety of industries and government entities. Our employment attorneys are well-known for their experience and success in employment law and have given seminars and training to other legal and human resource professionals throughout Arkansas. We provide proactive counseling and training to keep our clients abreast of federal and state regulations and laws. By identifying potential problems early, we are often in a position to resolve them and prevent a potential dispute. We partner with our clients, while recognizing the complexities of business, to develop sensible solutions rather than strictly legal ones. We provide expert advice for the development of employer policies, handbooks, compensation structures, and benefit plans, as well as guidance on employee discipline and termination issues. In addition, we maintain an impressive record with the EEOC and effectively manage responses to charges of discrimination. Our overall goal is to help clients avoid employment litigation, but if a trial is necessary, we have the competence and confidence to see our clients’ cases through to completion. We have significant experience in all types of employment law cases, at both the trial and appellate levels.
