Labor & Employment
A myriad of federal, state and local laws and regulations require businesses to meet and understand their often complex
employment obligations. Dufford & Brown's Employment & Labor law practice not only focuses on helping employers understand their
obligations under these laws, but it also focuses on assisting employers in formulating strategies to avoid or minimize employment or
labor disputes before they arise. If disputes do arise, we have the expertise and know-how to resolve these disputes in an efficient
manner either through early intervention, alternative dispute resolution, administrative hearings, or litigation.
