Employment Law and Litigation

RCDM's employment litigation attorneys defend Arizona employers in suits brought by employees and former employees alleging:

• Age, gender, racial or disability discrimination

• Breach of employment contracts

• Wrongful termination

• Sexual harassment

• Violations of state and federal employment laws

• Workers compensation claims

• ERISA preemption and standing issues

We also represent employers in investigations by regulatory agencies, including the:

• U.S. Department of Labor (including the Wage & Hour Division)

• U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

• Civil Rights Division of the Arizona Attorney General's Office

Another significant portion of our employment work deals with the Arizona Employment Protection Act and the Trade Secrets Act, non-compete agreements and restrictive covenants, non-solicitation agreements, and substance abuse programs.

In addition to the litigation aspects of the firm's employment practice, our attorneys are equally skilled at alternative dispute resolution methods including mediation, arbitration, administrative proceedings and settlements. Our employment lawyers provide immigration assistance and assist employers in preparing appropriate employment policies and procedures and advising employers on the day-to-day implementation of such policies.
