Employment

Hiring the right employees is a key driver to a company's growth and sustainability, but it is riddled with potential pitfalls. Ries Law Group provides employment counseling, consults with clients regarding their policies and procedures and negotiates and drafts employment contracts, independent contractor arrangements, commission contracts and separation agreements. We help businesses protect themselves within the confines of California law, including by drafting policies designed to protect a company’s confidential information and trade secrets. Our team also works closely with intellectual property counsel to protect clients’ processes and innovations.

Should disputes proceed to litigation, we have a wealth of experience successfully representing companies in administrative proceedings, arbitration, and in civil litigation involving claims of wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, and more.
