Employment Litigation

If your business is facing an employment-related legal matter, you need a team that understands what’s at stake. Employment law disputes can turn ugly fast.  

At Mahendru P.C., we have an extensive history of representing both employers and employees in litigation cases involving employment agreements, non-competition agreements, trade secret issues, severance agreements, wrongful terminations, and alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Most Common Kinds of Employment Contracts and Matters We Can Help With 

Labor and employment law disputes can be complicated and emotionally charged. At Mahendru P.C., our employment attorneys advise clients on a wide range of employment law matters. We ensure compliance with state and federal law while protecting your interests.  

Drafting and Negotiating Employment Contracts 

An experienced employment lawyer from our team can help you proactively avoid many disputes by using strong contracts. Our team assists with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating agreements such as: 

• Executive employment contracts 

• Non-disclosure agreements 

• Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements 

• Independent contractor agreements 

Employee contracts are a tool for promoting compliance and mitigating risk. Our employment law attorneys work closely with you to craft documents that are compliant and enforceable.  

Starting new employee relationships off with strong, clear contractual agreements can help reduce the risk of future disputes while protecting your interests should an issue arise.  

Resolving Employment Disputes 

Employment law disputes can arise at any stage of the employment relationship. Our legal team is equipped to handle: 

• Wrongful termination claims 

• Discrimination and harassment lawsuits 

• Wage-and-hour disputes 

• Breach of contract claims 

We approach each case with a strategic mindset. Our goal is to resolve every dispute as efficiently as possible while protecting your interests. However, we will not hesitate to escalate a matter to litigation if necessary.  

Compliance and Risk Management 

Staying compliant with ever-changing employment law regulations is a non-negotiable. We provide proactive counsel on: 

• Employee handbooks and workplace policies 

• FLSA and state wage compliance 

• Workplace investigations  

Our proactive guidance helps you avoid disputes before they escalate, saving time and resources.  

How Our Skilled Employment Attorneys Protect Your Best Interests  

At Mahendru P.C., we anticipate and address legal challenges. Our employment law attorney team combines deep industry knowledge with a client-centric approach to deliver results.  

Case Assessment 

Whether representing an employee or employer, we begin every new case with a thorough assessment. We review contracts, gather facts about the history of your relationship with the other party, and identify potential violations.  

By taking time to understand the root cause of the disagreement, we are better equipped to achieve a favorable outcome during negotiations.  

Aggressive Advocacy 

Once we’ve uncovered the reason behind the dispute, our team aggressively advocates for your rights and interests. If the contract includes a dispute resolution clause, such as mediation or arbitration, we will help you prepare your case and argue your position. If not, we will use our negotiating skills to work toward an amicable resolution.  

When advocacy fails, our team is prepared to take your case to trial. We want to win and will use all of our resources in pursuit of that goal.  

Proactive Risk Mitigation 

The best time to partner with our firm is before you find yourself in a heated employment law dispute. Connect with our team to draft and modify contracts, ensure your employment policies are compliant, and prevent issues before they arise.  

Are you unsure where to begin? Schedule a consultation with a member of our employment law team. We offer a wide range of personalized services and support designed to insulate your business from employment-related risks.  

Personalized Counsel 

Every client receives direct access to our experienced attorneys. We prioritize communication and collaboration from day one. If you have a concern, we want to know about it and help you explore your resolution options.  

Sometimes, that means negotiating with the aggrieved party. In other cases, we may need to initiate litigation on your behalf.  

At Mahendru P.C., we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we adjust the scope of our support to address your most pressing business needs. That’s what makes us different.  

Attaining Stellar Results for Our Clients 

No employment law attorney can guarantee a specific outcome in a dispute. However, one of the most practical ways to assess a legal team’s skill levels and capabilities is to research their past results.  

If a team has consistently delivered favorable results for clients facing similar challenges, you know they will apply their skills and resources to protect your interests.  

Our team of skilled attorneys are known for their tenacity and passionate representation. Our lawyers are fierce negotiators who strive to resolve disputes as quickly as possible while helping reduce the risk of future disagreements. Most importantly, we have developed a culture of winning matters for our clients.    

We have handled a large variety of employment litigation cases, including the following: 

• The successful representation of two employees of an oilfield services company—an engineer and a procurement manager—who were accused by their former employer of misappropriating trade secrets 

• The successful representation of an IT Services company against its former consultant, who “went rogue,” requiring our team to obtain a temporary restraining order to lock the employee down 

• The successful representation of a physician group against former physicians who were practicing in violation of their non-competes 

• The successful representation of a medical-services employee who was accused of working in violation of her non-compete 

These results reflect our commitment to delivering meaningful outcomes for those who put their trust in our firm.  

Regardless of which side of the dispute you are on, you need an employment contract lawyer who wants to win as badly as you do. That is precisely the language our satisfied clients use to describe Mahendru P.C. and the tenacity of our employment attorneys.
