Employment Litigation

Landman Corsi Ballaine & Ford P.C. represents public and private employers in litigation arising from all aspects of the employer‑employee relationship.  We have successfully defended employers in employment discrimination and labor matters in several state and federal jurisdictions, including before administrative tribunals, involving claims for wrongful termination, contract disputes, restrictive covenants, sexual harassment, hostile work environment as well as all types of discrimination claims. We have conducted internal investigations into employee complaints of discrimination and harassment. We have also successfully represented our clients in complex disputes concerning benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act as well as employee privacy issues, including drug testing and search policies.  Our attorneys frequently counsel clients on how to avoid employment‑related litigation.

We are proud of our ability to establish and maintain excellent working relationships with our clients as well as their insurance carriers and any in-house or private counsel recognizing the unique legal, economic and emotional nature of employment claims.

We always defend employment cases with an eye towards winning at the summary judgment stage and have been extremely successful in this regard.  However, we are well prepared to try cases that need to be tried and have obtained defense verdicts in the majority of  discrimination cases that we have tried to verdict. Because of our reputation and track record as a firm that tries cases and aggressively defends employment cases, we are increasingly asked to take over cases on the eve of trial in order to try the case or posture the case for a favorable settlement.
