The
workplace has changed dramatically in the past decade and is now subject to
myriad employment laws and regulations. In an increasingly complex legal
environment, privacy rights, medical leaves, annual leaves, sexual harassment,
disability discrimination, and wrongful termination are just a few of the
potentially explosive and endless array of issues and challenges confronting
today's employers and employees. To address these concerns, the consultants at
Sawarn & Co work closely with our clients to provide responsive,
individualised advice and representation.
Developing such invaluable knowledge about our clients enables us to provide
sound legal counsel and advice in designing workplace policies, practices and
procedures to minimize and avoid potential liability and litigation.
We work to
prevent employment disputes, but litigate a broad range of employment issues
including employment discrimination, sexual harassment, and unlawful termination
when appropriate before courts, tribunals and arbitrations.
We
develop client-specific lawsuit prevention strategies. In addition, we also
counsel clients about legal notification requirements, employee benefits,
arrangements with medical providers, safety programs and claims administration.
We also have extensive experience negotiating and drafting executive
compensation agreements, employment contracts, agency agreements,
confidentiality agreements, separation agreements, non-competition agreements
and collective bargaining agreements
