Recognizing the best defense is the avoidance of litigation, COS strives to advise its clients so they minimize risks while maximizing opportunity. COS attorneys routinely provide practical, in-depth legal advice to employers on matters such as employment contracts and handbooks, independent contractor agreements, salary and wage requirements and regulations, overtime pay and employee classification, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employee benefits, nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) and other confidentiality restrictions, and non-competition and non-solicitation issues.

When litigation is unavoidable, COS is prepared to aggressively, effectively, and efficiently represent its clients’ interests. Our experience includes a wide range of employment disputes, including employee discipline and termination, discrimination claims, unpaid wage claims, trade secret litigation, unfair trade practice claims, suits involving non-competition claims and other restraints on trade, and ERISA proceedings. If you have employees, we can answer your questions.
