LABOR & EMPLOYMENT
LAW
The attorneys at Birdsong & Armstrong
strongly believe that managing personnel today requires
an ability to address employment law issues related to
age, race, gender, religion, national origin, disability,
marital status, pregnancy, health, and military status. Concerns
may arise at any time during the employment relationship
from hiring to promotion to separation. Our attorneys
are well versed in the federal and state laws governing
these issues. Working with a wide range of commercial
clients and governmental entities, our attorneys have been
successful in educating clients to avoid claims, defending
claims that are made, and minimizing exposure to liability. We
assist clients in developing personnel policies and practices
that contribute to a sound human resources program.
