Employers Case Study
"I defended a home repair business owner in a wrongful termination suit filed by a former employee. The client turned to GraceHollis for help when their former attorney had filed weak papers in response to the employee's Motion for Summary Judgment. The judge allowed us to resubmit the Opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment and we eventually settled the case for tens of thousands of dollars less than the former employee's monetary demand.
I was pleased to negotiate a positive outcome for my client, especially since we got involved with the case well after it had started."
Graham S.P. Hollis
People are essential to almost every type of business. A skilled and talented staff helps businesses run efficiently. When a company is involved in an employment law dispute, however, business can come to a standstill.
Employment law rules are some of the most dynamic areas of the law. It often seems that state and federal courts reinterpret and modify existing laws on a daily basis. And employers who fail to keep pace can expose themselves to significant claims, penalties and attorney fee awards.
The attorneys at GraceHollis LLP know what's at stake. After all, we're business people, too. It's our job to know every aspect of employment law — where it is today and where it might go in the future. We've worked with many different types of corporations and business entities on a variety of issues.
We also use our knowledge to help clients avoid lawsuits. We find and correct potential problems in employee handbooks, policy and procedure manuals and corporate literature. We partner with our clients to identify other areas that could lead to problems. And our attorneys share their knowledge by teaching seminars on employer/employee relations, sexual harassment and discrimination practices and administration of employment policies and procedures.
Our goal is to keep our employer clients away from legal entanglements and out of court so they can concentrate on what they do best - running their business.
