Labor & Employment

Siff & Lake’s labor and employment practice group helps clients assess risk, solve problems and realize opportunities associated with today’s dynamic and diverse workplace.  We apply our legal skills seasoned with practical insight gained from service in senior positions at government agencies charged with interpreting and enforcing the nation’s labor and employment laws.  The firm regularly counsels clients on designing and implementing compliance programs, responding to threatened or pending litigation and enforcement actions, performing investigations and improving employer/employee relations.

The compliance, litigation and enforcement matters on which we commonly advise clients include the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Uniform Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act, the Labor Management Reporting Disclosure Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age and Discrimination In Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The firm’s attorneys often work as part of corporate teams in developing successful strategies and communications to resolve workplace issues.  Our advice takes into account not only relevant legal issues but also practical business concerns of our clients, such as ongoing relationships with customers, workers, shareholders, regulators and the media.  Siff & Lake regularly provides “best practices” and management training programs related to labor and employment law to a diverse array of clients, including nonprofit entities, agricultural employers, technology firms, energy companies, building products manufacturers, consulting firms, law firms, lobbying firms, entertainment companies, labor organizations and trade associations.
