Employment Law
LAX & NEVILLE, LLP, has
an employment law practice representing individuals in actions
initiated against their employers for workplace
discrimination,
and other unlawful and unethical claims. Similarly, we represent
smaller and regional brokerage firms in the same types of
actions. Among the types of cases that we handle are:
- Wrongful Discharge / Termination
- Bonus Disputes
- Sexual Harassment
- Discrimination based upon Race, Age, Gender, Sexual
Orientation, National Origin
- Hostile Work Environment
- Constructive Discharge
- Disability Discrimination
LAX & NEVILLE, LLP, have particular
experience in employment law matters in the financial services
and broker dealer sector, including employment agreements
with restrictive covenants (non-competes), confidentiality
agreements, corporate policies on trade secrets, intellectual
property and proprietary business information. We have extensive
experience in litigating disputes between brokerage firms
and registered individuals regarding contract and employment
issues, including “raiding” cases, Temporary
restraining orders (TRO’S), injunctions, in both federal
and state courts. Such matters then proceed to expedited
arbitration under FINRA rules. Such experience should be
an important factor in selecting a lawyer in this regard
because there are many issues that are unique to the brokerage
industry because it is so highly regulated by both governmental
and self regulatory bodies.
