Metro Atlanta Employment Law Attorneys
At The Adams Law Offices, our lawyers offer advice and documentation on employment law matters as part of the range of business and commercial law services we provide to small and medium-sized businesses throughout the Atlanta metro area. On a highly selective basis, we also represent employees with valid claims that their workplace rights have been violated. For additional information about our ability to represent your interests effectively on employment law issues, contact one of our attorneys in Atlanta.
For employers, we help you anticipate and identify areas of potential liability to employees under state and federal law, and offer cost-effective solutions that can avoid compliance problems and minimize the risk of a lawsuit. We can train your managers, supervisors, and human resources personnel about the right and wrong ways to handle such matters as pregnancy leave, disability accommodations, and complaints of discrimination or sexual harassment.
Our attorneys can also draft employee handbooks or personnel policy manuals that reflect the realities of your business needs and management style while giving your entire staff a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. An important objective of the policies spelled out in an employee handbook is to prevent wrongful termination complaints through a clear and practical explanation of employment at will under Georgia law.
In addition, we also negotiate, draft, and enforce your rights under management or professional employee contracts, noncompete and nonsolicitation agreements, confidentiality covenants, and independent contractor or temporary employment agreements. When necessary, we can also negotiate and document severance agreements to resolve or avoid employment disputes.
On behalf of employees, our experience with employment law and commitment to highly professional client service can represent an advantage in the investigation and presentation of workplace rights claims involving age or race discrimination, sexual harassment, employer retaliation, rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act or Americans with Disabilities Act, or wage and hours violations.
Although most of our employment law work involves advice to employers interested in achieving a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities with respect to their workforce, we can certainly recognize a valid employee complaint when we see one, and we can help you resolve your problem on the basis of your rights under state and federal law. If we can't achieve a negotiated settlement of your claim, we can pursue your rights in court.
