Overview

For employers grappling with a dynamic legal landscape, workplace compliance can seem like a moving target. Epstein Becker Green acts as a strategic business partner for your human capital needs, helping you anticipate change and shape solutions in real time.

Employers of all sizes—from start-ups to international Fortune 100 corporations—rely on us for advice in all 50 states and around the world. Whether we’re providing day-to-day counsel, investigating bad actors, or planning for a reorganization, we engage fully with your unique business issues as we help you navigate evolving federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

Counsel for Day-to-Day (and Year-to-Year) Needs

Our approach to counseling goes beyond answering one-off questions. Our lawyers commit to your business, learn your operations, and often act as embedded or outside "in-house" counsel. Working closely with human resources and in-house legal teams, we draft policies, procedures, and agreements that inspire engagement and incentivize productivity. We often advise on issues at the leading edge of the law, setting precedent in employment, discipline, termination, leave of absence, and reasonable accommodation policy and practice decisions. We draft and negotiate state-of-the-art employment, consulting, intellectual property, confidentiality, restrictive covenant, separation, and other agreements for employees at all levels. No matter how novel or complex the question, our knowledge of both your business and the relevant laws helps us resolve problems efficiently.

Focus Areas

Experience

  • Successfully counseled a highly trusted advisor and counselor to many of the world’s most influential businesses and institutions in its potential onboarding and hiring of more than 200 global partners and members of the executive leadership team in over 20 countries across six continents. We continue to provide due diligence and strategic advice to this client on a global basis.
  • Assisted a publicly traded global insurance company in investigating allegations of misconduct by two executives. We also prepared and negotiated severance agreements, termination scripts, internal and external announcements, and notice to applicable regulatory agencies, thus avoiding a costly and disruptive dispute that would have attracted unwanted media attention.
  • Provided human resource advice and counsel to a medical sector specialty company in Connecticut on such topics as the acquisition of new businesses, restructurings, confidentiality agreements, severance agreements, and multistate employee handbooks. We continue to counsel this client nationally on employee disciplinary and accommodation matters.
  • Advised a water services company on conducting a reduction in force in compliance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and other state and federal laws. We acted as the lead labor and employment adviser in this reduction in force, which resulted in substantial cost savings to the company.
  • Evaluated, on behalf of multiple clients, artificial intelligence (“AI”) vendors for the clients’ employee recruitment, selection, and onboarding functions. We assisted our clients in assessing the product offerings, reviewing vendor contracts, identifying the appropriate questions to ask the vendors about their AI products, monitoring and testing those products, and evaluating whether those products would raise any legal issues.
  • Provide day-to-day employment law services to a growing pharmaceutical company in the Northeast. We have supplied workplace compliance counseling on matters such as employee discipline, leave requests, and hirings and terminations.
