Our Employment Law Practice is built on a simple belief: the best legal outcomes begin long before a dispute ever arises. We work closely with employers to understand their business, anticipate risk, and put the right policies, practices, and agreements in place — so that workplace issues are addressed proactively rather than reactively.
We represent businesses of all sizes across industries, providing the kind of practical, business-minded counsel that HR teams and executives can actually use. Our advice is grounded in the realities of running an organization — we don’t just tell clients what the law says, we help them understand what it means for their business and how to move forward with confidence.
Our attorneys guide clients through the full range of employment matters, including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims, wage and hour compliance, leave administration, executive compensation, non-compete and confidentiality agreements, and workforce restructuring. When disputes do arise, we defend employers before federal and state courts, the EEOC, TWC, and other administrative agencies — always with an eye toward efficient, practical resolution.
We also serve as a steady, trusted resource for the day-to-day questions that don’t always make it to outside counsel — helping clients build cultures and workplaces where legal problems are the exception, not the rule. From policy audits and employee handbook reviews to manager training and internal investigations, we’re the kind of partner clients call early and often.
In a legal landscape where workplace law is constantly shifting — from pay equity and AI in hiring to expanded whistleblower protections and non-compete reform — we stay ahead of the curve so our clients can stay focused on what they do best.
Federal
At LKC, clients can expect top-notch legal representation during all facets of their military and civilian careers. Our attorneys understand the unique circumstances facing federal employees and government contractors, and can offer specialized, nation-wide assistance in the following legal issues and matters:
Disciplinary or Adverse Actions: When employees have been proposed for disciplinary and/or adverse actions, it is important to retain knowledgeable counsel to timely and robustly respond to these allegations. Employees should, if possible, respond in writing and verbally to dispute, explain, and mitigate the stated charges. They should similarly guard against letters of reprimand, counseling statements, suspensions, demotions, and removals on their records.
Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Claims: Many employees are protected against discrimination, harassment, and hostile work environments. LKC can assist employers and employees throughout the administrative and, if necessary judicial processes.
Reasonable Accommodations and Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA): In the event an employee suffers from a serious medical condition, a discussion about potential reasonable accommodations may be initiated. Medical conditions can sometimes negatively impact work performance and/or attendance, and by working with the client and treating physicians, LKC attorneys can pinpoint accommodations that could alleviate these issues. Our firm’s attorneys can assist clients and their medical professionals to properly address these circumstances.
