Employment & Labor
Matters relating to employment and labor can be exceedingly complex. Our clients, who typically operate medium-to-large companies, have come to depend on the proactive stance we take to address issues upfront in today's increasingly litigious society. Group chair David Paxton oversees a legal team that is known throughout the region for being highly efficient and readily available. Gentry Locke is noted for giving candid, realistic assessments to employment and labor clients. Providing anything less would not serve their best interests.
Securing the services of Gentry Locke constitutes a plan to avoid conflict. Our approach to help protect our clients includes equal parts pragmatism and creativity. It is a successful combination that has proven attractive to and effective for clients based in the region, as well as clients headquartered elsewhere that operate in Virginia. We are proud to report that Gentry Locke competes successfully with much larger firms from outside the area—partly because we are more cost-effective, but also due to our indefatigable drive to completely serve the often diverse needs of our clients. Our employment and labor attorneys are known for holding leadership positions in professional and community organizations, where our high level of involvement and dedication is immensely respected.
