Fentress Legal represents employers in all areas of employment law. Fentress Legal can be retained to counsel your business on daily employment decisions such as hiring, firing, suspensions, discipline and benefits. Fentress Legal also assists clients in avoiding unnecessary litigation by conducting internal investigations, reviewing and revising employment policies and manuals, and conducting risk management seminars and training for the client’s employees.
For those instances in which litigation is necessary or unavoidable Fentress Legal would be honored to represent your business in the state and local FEP Agencies, EEOC and federal and state courts throughout Maryland and DC. Fentress Legal stands ready to defend employers against all types of employment law claims, including those brought under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADEA, FMLA, FLSA, wage claims, as well as all other federal, state and local laws. We also defend employers against claims of employment discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, negligent hiring, negligent retention, negligent training and employer defamation.
Fentress Legal also assists and counsels clients on drafting, implementing and enforcing all types of employment contracts. This includes executive contracts, independent contractor agreements, employee contracts, non-compete agreements and nondisclosure agreements, among others. Fentress Legal further advises its clients on how to communicate with their employees without creating unanticipated contractual obligations.
Fentress Legal is a premier employment litigation firm. We stand ready to represent employers in employment cases including sexual harassment, race discrimination, and retaliation. Although Fentress Legal attorneys are proud of their trial experience and they stand ready to take a case to trial at any time, our primary goal is to dispose of cases by dispositive motion. We also recognize that sometimes our clients’ best interests are served by settling cases, and our trial experience serves us well and enables us to reach favorable settlements for our clients. Fentress Legal’s philosophy is to stand ready to take the case to trial if necessary but we always look at the case from all perspectives and, most importantly, look to do what is in the best interest of the client/employer from a cost, culture, and brand perspective.
