As regional and global business markets become more competitive, a company’s right to manage its human resources effectively becomes more important to the bottom line. The attorneys of Coats Rose understand this fundamental truth, and are committed to helping management clients navigate and negotiate the changing landscape of federal, state and local laws that apply to the workplace.
Our mission is to arm clients with sound employment strategies and practices, and provide real-world advice for handling the everyday workplace. This includes everything from consultation on employee handbooks and human resource policies, workplace audits, compliance with employment statutes and regulations, labor union policies and relations to employee headcount issues with the goal of avoiding litigation. In the unfortunate event that litigation arises, our attorneys are highly experienced and capable of delivering satisfactory resolution.
Preventive maintenance is also a cost-effective component of our Labor and Employment Law practice. Coats Rose drafts employment agreements and business protection agreements for our clients, such as non-competition / non-solicitation provisions and trade secret clauses. We are also equipped to defend or prosecute these employment agreements.
Above and beyond our strategic legal counsel, Coats Rose offers clients two avenues for understanding and implementing the changing world of employment law. First, we facilitate management training workshops designed to assist employers in avoiding legal actions. Our workshops cover a broad range of topics relevant to human resources management, such as workplace harassment, response to unions, the basics of supervision, EEO, ADA and FMLA.
Second, Coats Rose offers a strong information and news alert program, designed to keep our clients updated on the fast-changing employment world. This information services program is further enhanced by a member of the Section who sits on the United States Chamber of Commerce’s Labor Relations Committee.
