Employment Law - Employer

Termination Issues • Litigation • Non-Compete Agreements

Has a former employee sued your company for discrimination or wrongful discharge? Are you concerned that your employee handbook, discrimination policies, non-competition agreements, or other standard contracts might be unenforceable or subject you to liability because they are not "up to date" with new developments in the ever-changing field of employment law?

The proven trial lawyers of Robertson, Medlin & Blocker, PLLC, represent Triad Employers in a variety of litigation matters, including wrongful discharge, unemployment hearings, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) investigations and litigation, Department of Labor investigations, covenants not to compete, trade secret violations, and unfair and deceptive trade practices by former employees.

We also provide the necessary counseling and advice to keep you out of the courtroom, so you can remain focused on your core activities.

Defending Employers

Allegations of wrongful discharge, discrimination, and retaliation can severely impact your company through loss of time and focus, financial exposure, and damage to reputation. We have negotiated cost-effective resolutions through confidential out-of-court settlements. Our aim is cost-effective resolution of disputes through negotiation and mediation. When the other side is being unreasonable, however, as veteran trial lawyers we will prepare a thorough defense of the case and aggressively counter the allegations in court and pursue all available defenses. We vigorously defend businesses in the Piedmont area. We practice in state and federal courts on a wide variety of labor and employment issues.

Counseling Employers

Our attorneys have worked in the private sector in previous careers. Clear policies (often stated in an employee handbook) and uniform, counseled enforcement can help avoid entanglement in litigation. Many employee claims can be avoided by having clear, defined HR policies and procedures in place. Staying abreast of the latest legislation and case law can ensure the agreements you enter with employees are enforceable. Robertson, Medlin & Blocker, PLLC, provides employers consulting on:

• Drafting non-competition agreements, trade secret protection agreements, and proprietary information-sharing agreements.
• Drafting employment and independent contractor agreements.
• Advising on termination, disciplinary, and benefits issues. 
• Writing employee handbooks, manuals, and policies.
• Implementing policies on sexual harassment and workplace discrimination.
• Advising on Department of Labor (DOL) and other governmental regulations.
