HUMAN RESOURCES LEGAL CONSULTING
In labor and employment law, as in sport, the best offense is a good defense. Effective human resources policy is not simply about managing today’s personnel problems. It also involves education and the preparation of defensive strategies designed to protect the employer against the risk of future liability. At Greenwald Doherty, we help our clients gain a working understanding of effective human resources management practices that will meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. Our consultations with client on the legal aspects of human resources and employment issues include:
· Counsel on employee discipline, leaves of absence, requests for accommodation, employee complaints, privacy issues and termination decisions

· Compliance assistance designed to prevent employee and governmental claims related to wage and hour, civil rights, leave, workplace safety, privacy and Sarbanes-Oxley mandates
