Representing Employers Accused of Wrongdoing
In our current litigious environment, businesses face a constant barrage of claims initiated by disgruntled employees and former employees. These lawsuits cost companies time and money, diverting resources and energy from business objectives. Hiring a skilled lawyer to combat a claim can make a significant difference in the length, cost and outcome to your company.
Our law firm, Ruderman & Roth, LLC., vigorously defends businesses and employment insurance companies against a myriad of employment law claims. We recognize both the value of a zealous aggressive approach and the costly nature of litigation. As a result, all strategic litigation decisions represent a balance between costs versus need. Our office places an emphasis on maintaining communications with our clients to keep them apprised of developments and to obtain their input regarding strategic decisions. We understand that our role as attorneys includes acting as advisors who outline the advantages and disadvantages of a considered approach, while recognizing that the ultimate decision rests with the client. When possible, we strive to reach a positive resolution through negotiation. If, however, a client’s case is best served by proceeding to trial, we zealously defend our client’s interests in the courtroom.
