 Resolving Employment Disputes and Litigation

Jasper & Jasper represents business and individuals in the resolution of a myriad of workplace legal disputes in numerous venues.  Often we can negotiate a resolution for you through:

• Legal counseling
  
• Negotiating termination or separation agreements; or
  
• Mediation
  

When litigation has become unavoidable, we can defend or prosecute claims involving:

• Discrimination in employment;
  
• Wage and hour including putative class or collective actions;
  
• Enforcement of restrictive covenants (non-competition/non-solicitation/non-disclosure agreements);
  
• Other breaches of employment contracts, including collective bargaining agreements.
  

Our attorneys regularly litigate these matters in state and federal trial-level and appellate courts, within government administrative tribunals and private arbitration and mediation forums, such as the American Arbitration Association and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
