About this practice

Description

Employers conduct workforce reductions for a variety of economic and strategic reasons.

We have the experience and in-house resources to provide effective advice and counsel on issues arising before, during and after a reduction-in-force or reorganization. Our goal is to minimize the potential for individual or class action litigation and to ensure a positive employee relations environment for remaining and future employees.

We defend employers in state and federal courts and administrative agencies against discrimination, breach of contract and other claims arising from reductions-in-force and reorganizations.

Our attorneys assist both union and non-union employers in reduction-in-force and reorganization planning and execution, including:

  • Preparation of severance and release agreements;
  • Compliance with WARN Act requirements;
  • Negotiations with unions; and
  • Impact analysis for protected groups.
