Services in Employment Law for Executives, Professionals, and Employees
Drafting and reviewing documents related to an employer-employee relationship is a basic step toward creating solid ground rules. These contracts will establish key provisions regarding compensation, duties, confidentiality, and non-compete services, which can help make both parties legally compliant and fully informed. The following are some agreements our Florida employment lawyer help with:
Employment offers: Drafting employment offers that establish your new working relationship on the right foot while protecting you and your business.
Executive and professional compensation packages: Advising and preparing state-of-the-art executive payroll, stock options, signing bonuses, and benefits contracts that are both competitive in the marketplace and legally sound.
Compensation, bonus, and commission plans: Developing incentive programs that engage employees and pass the legal test to help eliminate exposure for claims.
Non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements: Protecting trade secrets and relationships with restrictions that are legally compliant under state and federal law.
Release, severance, and discharge agreements: Drafting of, and advising on, exit agreements to avoid future disputes and establish clear post-employment duties and obligations, as well as legal compliance.
It's also crucial to enforce your post-employment obligations, not only to safeguard your company’s position but also to uphold the principles of fairness in employment. Our employment lawyer can draft and negotiate comprehensive contracts that take into account your individual business requirements and protect you from legal exposure.
Employee Dispute Resolution and Litigation
Work conflicts are tough, stressful, and emotional battles that can affect almost every aspect of your life, from personal well-being to workplace relationships. Having a competent and aggressive attorney on your team can help resolve these disputes quickly. Our Florida labor and employment law attorneys handle a wide range of employment disputes on behalf of our clients, including:
Unpaid commissions, wages, and bonuses: Protecting your interests when payment of wages, commissions, or bonuses earned is at issue, including aggressive representation to get the money that is owed to you or defending against unfounded claims.
Wrongful firing: Guiding you through claims of wrongful termination, assisting them with determining their rights, and developing strong cases.
Discrimination, retaliation, and harassment: Defending and pursuing claims regarding workplace discrimination or retaliation at the federal and Florida levels.
Wage and hour disputes: Assisting with FLSA and state labor law compliance and settling overtime, minimum wage, and classification disputes.
Employment contract disputes: Whether you need to hold another party to a contract or defend your rights under it, during employment or post-termination.
Non-compete litigation: Offering focused representation and advocacy in conflicts over non-compete or non-solicitation language.
At Kopp Legal PA, we take the time to truly get a grasp of the facts and goals in each situation. Knowing what you need helps us settle your disputes in a manner that is rational for you, whether in terms of cost or strategy.
ADA and Disability Compliance
Reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and state disability laws is a key part of building an equitable and workable workplace. Employers are required to make reasonable accommodations and treat qualified individuals without discrimination. However, determining what constitutes a reasonable accommodation can be challenging to understand and implement. We help employers and employees with their ADA responsibilities, including:
Evaluating requests for reasonable accommodation
Reviewing and revising workplace policies for compliance
Handling allegations of disability discrimination
Whether your company needs guidance on proactive compliance audits or aggressive representation in defending ADA claims, our FL labor and employment attorney has the experience to guide you around the common pitfalls and ensure your rights are protected. Call today for help with ADA and disability compliance.
Gender Discrimination in the Workplace
Discrimination based on gender, whether in a veiled form or outright, is still a major challenge for modern workplaces. Florida and federal statutes offer protections against various forms of discrimination, including pay inequity, harassment, and discriminatory hiring and firing practices. Our Florida business law firm counsels clients in:
What employers can do as a precaution (training, policy creation or review, internal investigations)
Handling gender discrimination and sexual harassment complaints, including inquiries, investigations, and resolutions
Seeking fair results for employees who have been persecuted or retaliated against based on gender
We’re committed to making sure workplaces are not only compliant with the law but also create fair, inclusive spaces based on mutual respect. By accepting differences and creating fairness, we strive to give each person the freedom and responsibility to succeed.
