Employment Law

Flahive Burke is focused on management in the area of employment law. We guide our client organizations and managers through the process of building and maintaining an efficient and productive workplace where employees are proud to be part of your team.

From the application process, through interviews, offer letters, handbooks, contracts where needed, investigation of complaints, wage, hour and benefit issues, manager training, performance evaluation, discipline, and termination if required, the firm has the proven experience to see you through every step of the employment relationship.

Our attorneys have had extensive litigation experience before we began counseling organizations in employment law. Our clients benefit from our ability to recognize and remediate potential legal issues before they arise. We pride ourselves in helping clients avoid the time, energy and expense that they might have had to spend defending claims.

Our clients have an expectation that their employees will work hard to assist in the success of the organization. The law places many requirements on employers that can easily be misunderstood or even misused by employees, to the detriment of a company. In counseling our clients, we strive to help them achieve their goal of being fair and effective employers while avoiding the retention of employees who cannot or will not contribute to the success of the organization.

When a new client comes to the firm with a potential legal claim, our experience in State and Federal courts and administrative settings enable us to defend your organization with confidence and competence.
