Overview
Overview
Employers of all sizes rely on O’Hagan Meyer’s employment lawyers for practical guidance that helps reduce workplace risk, strengthen compliance, and address workforce challenges before they become disputes.
Federal, state, and local requirements frequently overlap, particularly for employers operating across multiple jurisdictions. We help organizations navigate these complexities through proactive counseling tailored to their industry, workforce, and business objectives. Our lawyers evaluate workplace practices, identify potential exposures, and help clients implement practical solutions designed to support operations while reducing legal risk.
We advise employers throughout the employment lifecycle and regularly assist with:
- Employee handbooks, workplace policies, and multistate compliance updates
- Employment agreements, confidentiality agreements, and restrictive covenants
- Hiring practices, onboarding, discipline, reductions in force, and separations
- Wage and hour compliance, employee classification, and Equal Pay Act issues
- Leave administration, accommodation issues, and workforce management practices
- Drug and alcohol policies, including evolving cannabis laws
- Privacy, biometric information, and other emerging workplace compliance concerns
- Documentation strategies and response protocols to strengthen decision-making and position employers to defend challenged actions
- Alternatives to litigation, including mandatory mediation and arbitration provisions
Preventive counseling is a core part of our approach. O’Hagan Meyer conducts audits of employment practices, compensation structures, classifications, leave programs, and internal policies to identify potential issues before they escalate. We also develop customized training programs for executives, supervisors, human resources professionals, and employees on topics including interviewing and hiring practices, harassment prevention, workplace conduct, documentation, and evolving legal obligations. These efforts enable employers to respond consistently to workplace issues, improve compliance, and minimize disruption to business operations.
Clients also turn to O’Hagan Meyer for guidance on complex workforce and compliance matters requiring a coordinated, multijurisdictional approach, including regulatory audits and investigations, affirmative action obligations, restrictive covenant enforcement, and other evolving employment requirements. Drawing on experience counseling employers with national operations, our lawyers help organizations prepare for scrutiny from agencies, employees, and opposing counsel while advancing long-term business objectives.
