Preventing Employment Disputes and Ensuring Effective Defense
At the core of our Employment Law and Litigation practice is the goal of helping clients prevent employment litigation before it arises. We provide proactive legal advice and counseling to management on matters such as employment contracts, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, privacy rights, defamation, and statutory protections against wrongful discharge. By offering strategic guidance on these issues, we help businesses reduce their exposure to legal risks and foster a compliant and productive workplace environment.
Comprehensive Legal Services for Employers
In addition to preventive counseling, our practice covers a broad range of employment-related matters, including international employment agreements, secondment agreement, reductions in force (RIF), reorganization, non-competition agreements, and restrictive covenants. We also provide advice on emerging issues such as social media policies, trade secrets protection, and confidentiality agreements, ensuring our clients’ businesses are well-positioned to address evolving legal challenges. Our deep understanding of both Puerto Rico-specific and federal labor laws enables us to craft solutions that are fully compliant with applicable regulations.
Effective Litigation and Dispute Resolution
While we prioritize preventive measures, we understand that employment disputes are sometimes unavoidable. When litigation arises, we are ready to provide efficient and effective legal representation. Our employment law attorneys have a proven track record of successfully securing summary judgment in favor of our clients, minimizing the risk of prolonged litigation. Additionally, our team has extensive experience defending employers in trials before juries, judges, and arbitrators in Puerto Rico, ensuring that our clients receive focused and strategic defense at every stage of the litigation process.
