Employment & Human Resources

Lakey Villegas has developed an extensive practice handling a wide array of employment matters for employers and employees, including:

• Employment discrimination (age, gender, religion, race)

• Wrongful discharge

• Individual employee rights

• Wage-hour matters

• Collective bargaining

• Employee safety and health

• Unemployment insurance

• Transactional matters (labor and employment aspects)

We have helped employers and employees resolve disputes regarding employment practices as well as advise employers on proactive employment law compliance. We have successfully fought international companies and large corporations to secure just compensation for our employment law clients who have been victims of harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination or victimized by unlawful employment practices including unpaid wages and overtime pay. We firmly stand behind the rights of employees who have been wronged. Our attorneys counsel employers on preventing litigation, developing effective personnel policies and other employment agreements. Employer-clients can contact Lakey Villegas before terminating or disciplining an employee to minimize the risk of litigation. Early intervention, investigation, and documentation often resolve employment disputes in a cost-effective manner for employers and business owners. We are devoted to providing ethical representation and personal attention in a cost-conscious and timely manner.
