Employment and Labor
GM has substantial experience in providing effective, practical and extensive legal counseling and services to a wide-range of clients in the field of employment and labor law. Whether a small business owner who employs a few employees to larger employers that employ dozens or hundreds of employees throughout the States of New Jersey and New York or whether you are an individual who believes you are the victim of unfair treatment in the workplace, GM is committed to ensuring that your legal rights are protected, preserved and vindicated.
For employers, GM knows that an essential part of your business is the employer-employee relationship and that a comprehensive understanding of the rights for each of the parties in that relationship only creates a more efficient and productive working environment for everyone. All too often, employers only seek legal counsel at the time a lawsuit or other legal action is taken by a current or former employee. However, GM provides sound, practical and cost-effective legal and business advice to employers designed to prevent protracted and costly litigation. At the same time, if litigation is instituted, GM has extensive experience in State and Federal Courts in vigorously and successfully defending our clients in a wide variety of actions, including but not limited to, discrimination claims, wage claims, claims arising from restrictive covenants and non-competition agreements, breach of contract claims and whistleblower claims.
GM also provides equally effective representation for individuals who believe they have been mistreated in the workplace, either by superiors or co-workers. GM has substantial experience in successfully prosecuting claims on behalf of individuals in the State and Federal Courts for claims including but not limited to, harassment, discrimination, whistle blower actions and the protection of contractual rights.
