Foster Pepper's Employment and Labor Relations attorneys have the knowledge and experience in advising employer and management-side clients regarding compliance with employment and labor laws and in successfully defending employers and managers when disputes lead to adversarial proceedings or litigation.

We focus on understanding the business of our clients and providing services tailored to their particular needs. Our Employment and Labor Relations attorneys also draw on impressive corporate, municipal, health care, land use and real estate experience within the Firm to address our clients’ questions effectively and efficiently. Our clients include publicly traded corporations, closely held businesses, commercial and investment banks, municipalities, government agencies, professional corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, non-profit organizations, and individual executives and professionals. Industries served by Foster Pepper include affordable housing, biotech and emerging technologies, construction, education and schools, energy and utilities, environmental, financial institutions, hospitality, real estate, regulatory and government affairs, retail, right-of-way, securities, sports and sports facilities, transportation, and yacht and aircraft.

Our Employment and Labor Relations attorneys are primarily dedicated to the service of management. However, when executives and professionals change positions, they often engage us to review employment agreements and non-competes and to provide strategic advice to enhance their position in negotiations.

We also provide a variety of no cost services to our clients to keep them informed of changes in employment and labor laws. When significant developments arise, we publish news alerts via e-mail and our website, as well as regularly post relevant news on our Washington Workplace Law blog - www.washingtonworkplacelaw.com. We periodically host events and seminars to inform clients about important legal updates and industry trends.
