Employment Law

An energetic and creative environment that fosters strongly-knit, relationships is crucial for the success and profitability of both a company and its employees. Hundreds of state and federal employment laws govern the interaction between employers and workers. Those laws inevitably affect business on a daily basis, and compliance is an important factor in creating positive working relationships. We help employers and employees understand the laws that rule the workplace, from hiring and firing to paychecks and benefits.

Our firm’s principal, Robbyn Wysocki, has extensive experience in the field of employment law. Under her guidance, the Wysocki Legal Group provides employment law counsel as part of its general business practice and also provides counsel to individuals transitioning between employment opportunities.

When representing the employer or business owner, we work to resolve issues that affect the overall success of a company, providing guidance regarding:

• Hiring policies

• Classification of employees and independent contractors

• At-will employment

• Employment contracts

• Independent contractor agreements

• Employee policies and manuals

• Investigations

• Workplace harassment

• Wage claims

• Performance evaluations

• Terminations

• Enforcement of restrictive covenants, such as non-competes

• Misappropriation of trade secrets or confidential information

When representing an employee, we provide efficient, pragmatic legal counsel to preserve income, career and reputation in response to issues involving:

• Wrongful discharge

• Discrimination and harassment

• Defamation

• Contract disputes and severance packages

• Short-term engagements, and

• Non-compete agreements in Texas and other states.

The Wysocki Legal Group’s aim is to help employers and employees properly address urgent issues, prevent or avoid exposure to expensive legal claims and liability, and protect their own rights in the event of a future dispute. As with our other practice specialties, we emphasize advocacy and mediation in lieu of litigation whenever possible.
