The Labor & Employment Practice at Montgomery McCracken serves clients throughout the United States. We represent employers in both the private and public sectors, and we have extensive experience in all labor and employment law disciplines.
We assist clients in shaping comprehensive personnel and employment law policies for both union and non-union employees. We counsel not only on the substance of policies, but also on how they can best be articulated and implemented. We assist many of our clients in updating their employee handbooks with policies regarding substance abuse, smoking, AIDS, disability accommodation, skill testing, privacy issues and other relatively new areas of employment law.
We are increasingly involved in the defense of claims brought under federal and state employment discrimination statutes. Our objective in these cases is to defend the company successfully. We also provide management feedback so that the company can correct the problems that lead to litigation and avoid lawsuits in the future.
In recent years we have achieved significant victories for our employment clients. For example, we successfully defended the heavy truck manufacturer, Mack Trucks, Inc., against an ERISA pension discrimination action brought by former employees pursuant to Section 510.
Whether it is negotiating a labor agreement or defending an employment discrimination case, the goal at Montgomery McCracken is to ensure that our work advances the client's enterprise in the most beneficial, timely and cost-effective manner possible.
