Our Services
Every venture is unique, and priorities can quickly change. We have the experience and flexibility to tailor our services to your needs, providing strategic and cost-effective help where you need it most, so you can focus on your business.
Risk Assessment
New ventures often start operating before they have the time or funds to fully set up employment policies and practices. Even established companies can find they’ve outgrown their initial set up. We can help assess the risks of your practices and prioritize next steps tailored to your needs and resources. We meet you where you are, from quick, high-level assessments you can use as you grow, to comprehensive audits and change implementation.
Agreements & Transactions
Whether you need a set of templates, or a one-off negotiation, we prepare and negotiate all types of employment-related agreements, from offer letters to severance agreements. And we know that employment issues often impact the rest of your business – so we help you integrate those agreements with the broader array of transactional and corporate documents.
Policy & Process
We have substantial experience creating, reviewing, and revising policies and practices to comply with the rapidly changing and often patchwork nature of overlapping employment laws. And we have the judgment to tell you when you need a quick tweak, a comprehensive revision, or nothing - and the competence to make it happen efficiently with the least amount of disruption to your business.
Disputes & Litigation
Disputes come in all shapes and sizes, from simple internal complaints to nation-wide class-action lawsuits. Mr. Schwartz has been litigating employment claims for 20 years in state and federal courts as well as in arbitration and before administrative agencies. So we have the experience, and judgment, to quickly assess disputes, and provide a strategic, cost-effective defense.
Investigations
Investigations often can, and should, be handled internally. But sometimes you need an experienced and trusted advisor to help guide the process or even take over. We provide quick and practical guidance, ongoing support and oversight, or independent investigation — always tailored to the situation and your needs.
Compliance and Agencies
We handle complaints with governmental employment agencies from city and county, to state and federal. Depending on your needs and volume, we can provide one-off support or take all complaints and inquiries off your plate.
