Defense of Wrongful Termination Lawsuits
CENTURY LAW GROUP has a longstanding record of success in employment law disputes, contract disputes and other types of litigation. We aggressively defend employers accused of wrongful termination by conducting a thorough analysis of the claim as well as the custom in practice of the company.
Terminated employees usually file an unemployment claim as soon as possible. Responding to this claim in the wrong way can expose your company to needless litigation risk. Before responding, consult with our experienced attorneys first. We can discuss the dispute and advise you on how to respond without damaging your position.
Helping Companies Comply With the Law
As an employer in California, you have responsibilities under Federal and State employment laws. You cannot fire someone because he or she filed a workers’ compensation claim, engaged in union activity, or reported wrongdoing to a law enforcement or government agency. If the employee is covered by an employment contract, you may be required to uphold your side of the contract as well as comply with other employment laws.
Though the law generally holds that employers can hire and fire “at will”, you must be careful in doing so. Even an offhand comment made by a manager can turn the “at will” relationship into a “show cause” relationship — and expose your company to the possibility of litigation.
CENTURY LAW GROUP can explain these responsibilities and help your Human Resources department establish performance standards, policies and procedures to help you comply with the law and avoid litigation.
