Employment Discrimination Litigation

Miles & Stockbridge labor and employment lawyers defend employers in a broad range of workplace torts and related litigation involving alleged breach of non-competition agreements and labor contracts, civil rights violations, employment discrimination and harassment, ERISA and fiduciary liability disputes, labor law violations involving lockouts and strikes, wage and hour law violations, and wrongful discharge, among other significant legal issues.

While we perform extensive proactive counseling to help employers avoid the problems that lead to litigation, our lawyers appear in federal and state courts and in proceedings before such government agencies as the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Labor and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.  We have only one focus in our employment litigation work:  to secure the best result for our client. Because of our extensive trial experience, we frequently are able to choose the federal jurisdiction most favorable to our clients’ interests at trial, and our working familiarity with NLRB and other federal and state regulators is a distinct advantage. When appropriate, we effectively pursue mediation and arbitration as a means of resolving employment disputes.
