Your Business Venture Partner
When a sole proprietor or multiple partners decide to take the formal step to form a business, it is usually because they are good at what they do. Knowledge of the legalities of running a business and employment law may not be their forte. That is where our law firm can help. We can act as general counsel for your business venture by providing the legal advice and guidance you need to succeed today and into the future.
At Mattox & Wilson, L.L.P., we have extensive experience in virtually all employment law matters. Our attorneys are well versed in employer compliance issues and have litigation experience in both federal court and Indiana state court.
Common Employer Compliance Issues
It is hard to believe how far the United States has come in terms of employment law in the past 50 years. Today, there are federal laws in place to protect employees by which almost all employers must abide in everyday business. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regulations and state and federal laws prohibit discrimination on a variety of bases including:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender
- National origin
- Pregnancy
- Race
- Religion
Our lawyers have handled these complicated cases and also have experience with the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) compliance issues.
Employee/Employer Litigation
Occasionally, an employee will claim discrimination under a state or federal law. We have represented both employees and employers in pursuing or defending against these violations. Other types of litigation we handle include:
- Claims of hiring practice violations
- Wrongful termination
- Workers' compensation retaliation
- Non-compete and severance agreements
- Breach of contract for executives, directors or employees
