Whether you’re an employee under investigation or a professional negotiating a severance agreement, we’ll work with you to find a path forward.
Employment Law for Federal Employees
Federal employment law follows a different set of rules from the private sector. Federal employees are protected by statutes and procedures that require experience to understand, including the Civil Service Reform Act, Title VII, the Whistleblower Protection Act, and USERRA. Agencies must follow strict processes when disciplining or removing employees, and employees have the right to challenge those decisions.
We have represented clients before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Whether you are facing a proposed removal or reporting government misconduct, we are prepared to stand with you.
Common issues federal employees face include:
- Suspensions, demotions, and terminations
- Discrimination based on race, age, disability, sex, or religion
- Security clearance denial or revocation
- Retaliation after protected disclosures
- Denied applications for disability retirement
- Congressional or agency investigations
Employment Law for Private Sector Employees
Private employees face many of the same workplace challenges, but the legal process and protections are different. We handle discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and leave-related issues under state and federal laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We also assist with severance agreements, non-compete clauses, and trade secret disputes.
We represent employees across industries—healthcare, tech, finance, government contracting, and more—and also counsel employers seeking to reduce risk and promote fair, lawful workplaces.
