At Schaffer Herring PLLC, our legal team specializes in providing robust defense services to employers facing legal challenges from former employees. With a deep understanding of employment law and a commitment to protecting the interests of our clients, we regularly navigate complex litigation in various areas. Our expertise encompasses defending against claims in the following key areas:

• Workplace Discrimination and Wrongful Termination: We have a strong track record of defending employers against allegations of workplace discrimination and wrongful termination. Understanding the nuances of federal and state discrimination laws, our attorneys work diligently to refute claims based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, or any other protected characteristic. We also defend employers in cases where former employees allege wrongful termination, ensuring that our clients’ employment practices are fully compliant with legal standards and that their actions are justifiable.
• ERISA Litigation: Our firm represents employers in litigation related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). This includes disputes over employee benefits, pension plans, and fiduciary responsibilities. We navigate the complex regulatory framework of ERISA to defend our clients against claims of mismanagement or non-compliance, ensuring that their benefit plans are administered fairly and lawfully.
• Non-compete Litigation: We assist employers in enforcing non-compete agreements to protect their business interests, proprietary information, and competitive edge. When former employees challenge the validity of non-compete clauses or are accused of violating their agreements, our attorneys provide aggressive legal representation to uphold our clients’ rights and secure their business assets.
• Wages Litigation: Our legal team defends employers in disputes over wages, overtime pay, and other compensation-related issues. We ensure that our clients are in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage laws, defending them against claims of underpayment or illegal wage practices. By meticulously reviewing payroll practices and employment policies, we help employers navigate these claims, minimizing liability and ensuring fair treatment for all parties involved.

The attorneys at Schaffer Herring PLLC are adept at handling these sensitive and complex matters with the utmost professionalism and discretion. We understand that employment-related litigation can have significant implications for a business’s reputation, operational continuity, and financial stability. Therefore, our approach is proactive and strategic, focusing on minimizing risk, resolving disputes efficiently, and safeguarding our clients’ interests. Whether through negotiation, mediation, or courtroom litigation, our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients, ensuring their business practices are both legally compliant and aligned with their organizational values.
