Employment & Labor Litigation
The best litigation efforts usually result in a dismissal of a case prior to trial. But, the attorneys on the employment and labor litigation team at Gentry Locke Rakes & Moore know that a trial is sometimes unavoidable. Wise employers seek the candid counsel and deep experience of Gentry Locke. Led by practice group chair David Paxton, our attorneys are cost-effective, efficient and accessible. Perhaps our best attribute is our excellent reputation in the region, which certainly contributes to our aptitude for obtaining favorable results for our clients.
It all comes down to the level of trust we have earned from Management at the companies we serve. These clients have firsthand knowledge of our accomplishments at litigating cases brought by current or former employees. The issues cover the gamut: discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, breach of contract, non-competition, wage-hour, and employee benefits, just to name a few. We are also well experienced in handling employment disputes involving the Department of Labor, OSHA, the National Labor Relations Board, and the Employment Equal Opportunity Commission.
We are resolute but realistic when representing our clients before judges, juries, or governmental agencies, whether the situation requires us to be adversarial or collaborative. Our attorneys are equally adept at participating in arbitrations, mediations, or administrative hearings. When the dust of conflict settles, the essential story of Gentry Locke is that our good work is respected by those who hire us, those who oppose us, and those before whom we bring our cases.
