WE’RE STRATEGIC..
We take a strategic approach to litigation. We thoroughly evaluate the merits of every new litigation matter and provide you with a candid assessment of the claims, the possible defenses, the possible outcomes, the timelines, and the costs (financial, organizational, operational, reputational, and emotional). We discuss your goals, your constraints, and what “success” looks like to you. Then we develop and implement a winning litigation strategy designed to get you there as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
Along the way, we assist our clients in meeting their discovery obligations. We review document retention policies, partner with clients develop and implement litigation holds, and coordinate with clients and their IT teams on the review and production of electronically stored information (ESI). We work with clients’ executives, employees, and expert witnesses to prepare them for depositions, mediations, and trial. At every turn, Workplace Legal attorneys are continually evaluating all litigation developments —from new witness testimony to incoming and outgoing documents, emails, text messages, Slack and Teams messages, security camera videos, and other discovered evidence—to determine how it impacts the litigation and our go-forward strategy.
We understand that protracted litigation is costly and disruptive to your business. Workplace Legal Employment Lawyers looks for ways to end the litigation favorably so you can get back to business.
WE’RE AGGRESSIVE.
Don’t let our smaller size fool you. We don’t get pushed around. At Workplace Legal Employment Lawyers, our attorneys have been litigating and winning for decades. We know and use every appropriate litigation tactic and tool to help clients reach their goals, from obtaining injunctions to force an outcome or stop offending behavior to obtaining a writ of attachment and seizing an opponent’s bank accounts or other property to filing pre-trial motions that prevent confidential, embarrassing, or prejudicial information from being discussed in front of the jury.
