An Overview of the Services Our Employer Defense Attorneys Offer in Texas

Guidance with Personnel Policies and Decisions

Our Dallas employment law attorneys offer employers guidance on the development and implementation of personnel policies and personnel decisions. As a general rule, the best way to prevent a complaint or legal action from an employee is through thorough, well-crafted employee policies. Whether your company needs help drafting or reviewing an employee handbook or with any other employee policy matter, our legal team is prepared to help. We will make sure that your company is available to avoid needless disputes and litigation.

Assistance with Employment Law Investigations

Workplace investigations are complicated. Even for a well-staffed human resources (HR) department, an internal investigation can present a myriad of different issues. You should never hesitate to seek professional legal representation. Our Dallas, TX employer defense lawyers assist companies and organizations with internal investigations.

When you hire our law firm, you will get a Texas labor law attorney who will ensure that any investigation is detailed and completed in the proper manner. With a comprehensive investigation, supervisors will have access to all of the information that they need to make a decision. Additionally, employers can secure the evidence that they need to support their decision should any type of legal complaint be filed by an employee.

Drafting and Reviewing EEOC Position Statements

Many employee claims are brought before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Indeed, when a charge of discrimination is filed against an employer, the EEOC may have the authority to conduct its own investigation of the case. When the EEOC initiates the investigative process, it will typically begin by calling for a ‘position statement’ from the respondent (the employer).

Essentially, an EEOC position statement is an employer’s opportunity to defend the charges that are being raised by the current or former employee. An effective and professionally-drafted EEOC position statement can be the difference between quickly resolving an employment law claim and being stuck in frustrating and protracted litigation. Every allegation raised by an employee should be addressed within a position statement. Our Texas employer defense attorneys have deep experience preparing EEOC position statements for employers. We will protect your company.

Defense Against Employee Lawsuits

Finally, our Texas employment defense lawyers represent employers facing lawsuits from current or former workers. If an employee or independent contractor has filed a legal complaint against your company or organization, it is essential that you seek immediate assistance from an experienced employer defense attorney. Do not let false or misleading complaints sit unchallenged. Our Texas labor law attorneys are prepared to review the allegations raised by the employee, investigate the case, and build a strong and persuasive defense.
