We are trusted advisors and litigators specializing in labor and employment law. We have an unmatched depth and breadth of experience that employers and executives can leverage in all aspects of the employment relationship.
Who We Are
A Trusted Resource for Employers and Executives
Employees are any business’ most important asset. We help employers manage the complex, occasionally challenging, relationships with the people who make their business possible. That often means working behind the scenes as confidential advisers to management dealing with difficult employee relations issues. Frequently it involves vigorously defending a client’s interests in court, at an arbitration hearing, in administrative matters, or during a government audit or investigation. Sometimes it means representing an employer at the bargaining table during union negotiations or helping a client navigate a labor dispute. Whatever their role, our team never loses sight of our clients’ objectives and the practical realities of their business.
Texas Focused, National Reach
We are among Austin’s longest-operating and experienced labor and employment specialty law firms. Many of our attorneys are Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and all are well respected by our peers. Our clients are prominent players in the civic, economic, and social landscape of Austin and Central Texas. While we have represented the largest employers in Texas and major national Fortune 500 companies, we also scale our representation efficiently to help small employers, “Mom and Pop shops,” and executives all over Texas.
Just like our clients’ employment challenges, our advice and counsel does not stop at the state line. Many of our clients operate nationally or even internationally, and we regularly help them with employment matters spanning the scope of their operations. In particular, the firm has deep experience with California Employment Law to address the many challenges employers face with California employment issues. The Central-Texas economy is booming, and more and more of our clients have an employee presence that spans many states, including California. We routinely handle California litigation matters on behalf of employers and executives, and for litigation matters in other jurisdictions or state-specific issues that may require nuanced knowledge of local practice, we routinely work with a network of local counsel and other specialist firms to make sure our clients’ needs are covered.
