Litigation Help from an Employer Defense Lawyer Litigation Defense and Claims Before Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and State Commissions Employers can have the best protection to minimize risk of employee claims, but no matter how strong those protections, employers are likely to face some sort of claim by an employee during the business lifetime. Employers need a true advocate and cannot count on the system to be fair. ELDI provides a practical, strong approach to defending employers from employee claims. If you fear a claim is forming against or your business or litigation has already started, contact an employer defense lawyer from ELDI today.

EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION CLAIMS: Employers often find themselves forced to respond to charges of discrimination filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and equivalent state and local commissions (i.e. Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC), the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights (DCR), or the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations ). Although the purpose of those commissions is laudable, employees who are terminated or made to comply with reasonable workplace rules often look to blame employers, supervisors, or coworkers for their employment problems, and many employment commissions often function as advocates for employees. The attitude with many representatives of employment commissions is that the employer is guilty until proven innocent.

Each employer defense lawyer at ELDI has extensive experience representing employers before employment commissions, helping employers to present an aggressive defense and positioning cases for resolution where appropriate. ELDI helps employers to work within the system to achieve results that meet the business needs of employers. ELDI also has extensive experience using the mediation and resolution programs within employment commissions to achieve more economically advantageous results for employers.

LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION: When employees are not satisfied or become inpatient with the investigation of a claim by an employment commission, employees may take the next step of filing their claims in Federal or State Court. Some claims, such as those under the Family and Medical Leave Act, wage and hour claims, claims under employment agreements, and wrongful termination claims do not need to be filed with employment commissions and proceed directly to court or arbitration. Employers then are forced to spend more money to defend themselves, engage in the production of documents and electronic information, and participate in witness interviews and depositions. Employers do not have an effective remedy to recover the attorneys fees and costs incurred in defending themselves, leaving employees with very little downside to commencing litigation. Employers need to be aggressive while mindful of the overall progression and resolution of employment litigation. ELDI provides employers with the information needed to make informed decisions about the defense of employment claims. Employers never can insulate themselves completely from employment litigation, but as with proceedings before employment commissions, employers must be aggressive and well informed to prevail or reach a claim resolution which makes good business sense for the employer.
