Employment Attorneys that Understand NY Labor Law: Decades of Legal Experience Representing Employers in Labor Employment Matters Throughout the Capital District Region and Upstate New York

Experience

The trusted labor employment lawyers at E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy have decades of experience handling labor law matters throughout New York State. Our firm enjoys a reputation as a leader in labor employment law, consistently providing clients with exceptional legal services with excellent results.

We only represent employers regarding harassment or discrimination claims

Throughout the Great State of New York, we help many types of businesses and business owners handle a wide variety of labor employment matters. Our clients include one-person operations as well as corporations with thousands of employees. We have been fortunate to provide legal counsel to clients representing a diverse range of industries and marketplaces.

First Thing’s First: Understanding What it Means to be Compliant

Employees are not always aware of the myriad of local, state, and federal laws that apply to their operations. Unfortunately, the government is rarely sympathetic when it comes to rule violations – no matter how unknowing or unintended. Therefore, we educate our employer clients by helping them understand these often-complex rules and regulations. More importantly, we help them become and remain compliant.

Try to Prevent Litigation at All Costs

In addition to identifying all relevant labor employment rules and regulations applicable to our clients, we draft legally sound and enforceable documents, contracts, policies, and procedures as necessary. Our clients trust us to provide them with only the highest level of legal advice and strategies for avoiding legal misunderstandings, disputes, and future labor employment litigation.

Always Be Ready, Willing & Able to Effectively Litigate If and When the Time Comes

Despite our clients’ best efforts to abide by all labor employment laws, to perform their contractual obligations, and to treat their employees and contractors fairly, disputes may arise, sometimes out of nowhere. Moreover, our clients may not know the best way to resolve such disputes in the most cost-effective manner while simultaneously protecting their legal rights.

It is in these times of uncertainty, and with so much on the line, that our clients most heavily rely upon our experience and legal skills. The reality is that litigation may be inevitable depending on the specific circumstances.

Contract Analysis and Negotiation

We have extensive experience drafting, reviewing, revising, and negotiating many types of labor employment agreements. The terms and conditions of these sophisticated contracts have important legal, financial, and employment implications for our clients; and they count on us to identify red flags and potential pitfalls.

When we represent individuals who wish to form relationships with business owners, our primary duty is to protect our clients’ interests.

We work with our clients to understand their goals, hesitations, concerns, and questions regarding contracts and deals. We then draft, negotiate, and advocate for the best possible language, terms, and conditions.

Caution:

Before you enter into any type of labor employment contract, it is important to consult with a knowledgeable, reputable labor employment attorney experienced in this specialized area of contract law. If you do not fully understand your contractual duties and limitations, you may end up in an awful position with little recourse to fix or undo the problem.

  • If I hire an attorney but do not want to go to trial, can I settle?
    In the course of preparing a case for trial, your personal injury attorney will work with the defense attorneys and insurance companies in an effort to secure a fair settlement for you and your family. The final decision to accept an offer of settlement or go to trial is yours alone to make.

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
