Budd Larner's Labor & Employment attorneys represent a wide range of clients in a variety of industries; our clients include Fortune 100 corporations and closely-held businesses. Our strategy is to represent our clients aggressively and cost-efficiently in a manner that is sensitive to business objectives. We recognize that employment claims often raise complex problems that implicate both legal and labor relations concerns, and which must be addressed promptly and effectively.

Employment Counseling & Litigation

We counsel clients and handle trials that involve compliance with state and federal employment statutes, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination. We have achieved success in our cases before administrative agencies and in jury trials.

Employment Relations

Our attorneys work together with our clients to ensure that they are able to anticipate possible legal exposure and avoid litigation. Many clients seek our expertise in such matters as the handling of sensitive disciplinary measures, including layoffs and discharges, whistle blowing and conducting investigations of employee misconduct, including sexual harassment. We also draft employee handbooks and audit policies to meet our clients' needs.

Wage & Hour Laws

The firm's attorneys are experienced in handling all aspects of compliance issues that arise under wage and hour laws including the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New Jersey Wage Payment Law.

Unfair Competition & Trade Secret Protection

The firm has significant experience in handling matters involving allegations of unfair competition, breach of confidentiality and restrictive covenants. We prepare agreements that help to ensure protection of trade secrets and proprietary information.

Employment Torts & Related Claims

We counsel clients and handle matters involving many common law and statutory claims that are available to prospective, existing and former employees. These claims include tortious interference, wrongful discharge, breach of implied contracts, breach of duty of loyalty, defamation and invasion of privacy.
