What Do Employment Lawyers Do?

Employment lawyers play a critical role in federal, private, and public sector employees. An employment lawyer offers both legal advice and defends their clients in the event of a disagreement with the employer. Employment lawyers typically handle the following issues:

  • Employment contracts
  • Employment law counsel and advice
  • Discrimination (against sex, race, age, and religion)
  • Wrongful termination
  • Sexual harassment
  • Protection for whistleblowers
 

Employment contracts

Employment contract writing relies on a lot of legal jargon that you may find challenging to navigate. We always recommend that you have a lawyer review any employment contract before you sign.

Our Indianapolis employment attorneys understand Indiana labor laws and will identify any sections within the contract that may negatively affect you. We can find more favorable terms. It is always best practice to have an employment law attorney to look over any relevant documents before you take legal action to help protect you and keep your best interests in mind.

Employment discrimination claims

Discrimination claims cover a large umbrella of employment issues, including discrimination against race, gender, race, wrongful termination, or sexual harassment. A lawyer specializing in discrimination legal services can help identify your particular discrimination claim and ensure you are granted your civil rights in the workplace.

Legal representation and advice

While on the job, hostile work environments or grey-area situations can arise. Before you file a complaint, you should talk with an employment attorney first and discuss your employees’ rights. If you are being sued, your employment lawyer will personally handle the employment dispute.

They can help you navigate the legalities of reporting discrimination, fraud, harassment, or other work-related issues. If you secure a lawyer on retainer, you have the ability to immediately act if you are facing litigation. You can also use your lawyer’s experience and sue your employer if you feel that your rights as an employee are violated.

If you are a whistleblower, your lawyer will ensure your good intentions do not impact your career. Whistleblowers often find themselves within an ethically challenging situation when their access to incriminating evidence must be silenced or at risk for a breach of contract. It’s important to protect whistleblowers when they come forward, as they play a large part to expose business owners who do not comply with regulatory or ADA standards.
