Weinberg & Jacobs, LLP

Employment Practice Group

The Employment Practice Group is co-managed by Mark B. Weinberg and Ronald D. Jacobs. Employment law encompasses a wide range of issues and concerns in the workplace. Terms and conditions of employment frequently give rise to disputes. These problems can be lessened through carefully drafted handbooks and contracts. Policies and procedures thought out in advance can minimize the potential for expensive and time-consuming conflict between the employer and employee. For these reasons, the firm emphasizes the importance of counseling employers on employment practices, including compliance with the myriad of federal and state laws such as the Family and Medical Leave Act, Human Rights Act, and wage-hour laws. The firm also assists clients in developing and regularly reviewing customized employment manuals to govern their workplaces.

Complex employment agreements often affect other areas of law. Because the firm has a diversified practice in tax, partnership and corporate affairs, it can offer employment advice in this larger business context. Its ability to call upon partners with other expertise enables the firm to provide sound legal advice to its corporate clients from inception through termination of employment relationships.

Inevitably, some employment issues lead to litigation. In this, too, the firm's experience can serve its clients well. For each stage of an employment matter -- whether by effective drafting, preventive counseling, or handling claims from investigation through settlement or trial -- the firm's combined expertise enables its clients to resolve difficult issues wisely and prudently.
