Labor & Employment

We get the job done when handling labor and employment challenges.

Any organization with a few, or a few thousand, employees has the potential for labor or employment problems. These issues can bring a business on the move to a sudden stand still. To make sure your business keeps going, Lashly & Baer provides comprehensive experience in representing and advising employers in all aspects of labor relations and employment law.

We work closely with our clients to create and implement clear and concise employee handbooks, advise on and drafting policies, and offer training seminars on new and updated laws affecting our clients' businesses. The outcome? Our attorneys help to minimize the probability of employment conflicts.

Of course, even with the best of defenses, no employer is completely immune from employment claims. We are skilled at conducting thorough investigations into claims in the defense of our clients. Whenever possible, our attorneys will negotiate a solution beneficial to both sides through mediation or other alternative means. We are also fully prepared to aggressively represent our clients in court.

Traditional labor organizations turn to us for our experience in collective bargaining negotiations, union avoidance, unfair labor practice charges, unlawful union activities and labor arbitration. Plus, we also counsel employers in union organizing campaigns, elections and union decertification proceedings.

Lashly & Baer is there to help when you face strikes, picketing, hand billing and work stoppages during the collective bargaining process. We have designed, implemented and provided legal counsel for employee welfare benefit plans, retirement plans and executive compensation plans in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code and Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Our job is to make sure your employees keep doing theirs. It’s another example of our “just results” philosophy.
