The complexities of the employee-employer relationship include an ever-changing array of state and federal legislation and court decisions affecting the workplace. The VIDHI attorneys help employers navigate the potential liabilities, pitfalls, and challenges of a modern workforce. We understand that employees form the cornerstone of a company, and we collaborate with clients on strategies for regulatory compliance and best practices that support a vibrant and productive workforce.
Claim Prevention and Employee Training
The VIDHI’s employment law team emphasizes the value of prevention. Our practical approach includes counseling and assisting clients with the implementation of policies to avoid costly litigation. We address compliance issues in a way that minimizes their impact on our clients’ current employment and business strategies, and our attorneys offer timely and tested solutions.
Employer Defense and Risk Management
Despite due diligence and proper precautions, litigation is sometimes inevitable. The VIDHI’s employment law trial attorneys regularly defend employment claims before district courts, administrative agencies, and arbitrators. Our experience includes a wide range of actions, from breach of contract to whistle-blowing.
Appropriately assertive in the litigation process, from initial claim through trial, the Vidhi attorneys begin every litigation representation with a detailed discussion and risk assessment of the claim. We encourage our clients’ involvement in the formulation of a strategic defense and find that this depth of collaboration facilitates cost-effective and efficient resolutions.
Litigation and Asset Protection
There are occasions when company assets, such as intellectual property, employees, financial resources, or other proprietary property, will come under threat. In many of these instances, a timely and proactive approach is imperative. The VIDHI’s employment law attorneys act decisively to help clients anticipate threats related to:
» Breach of duty of loyalty and fiduciary duty
» Breach of employment contracts and quasi-contracts
» Breach of non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure agreements
» Collection of past due accounts receivable
» Employee theft
» Injunctive relief
» Misappropriation of trade secrets or other intellectual property rights
» Separation and termination agreements
