Employment Law Attorneys

At Mitchell Pollack & Associates, we provide comprehensive advisory and litigation services for large and small employers. For sound counsel on any question concerning personnel policies or the right approach to a human resources problem, contact a New York and New Jersey employment law attorney at either of our two offices.

Our employment law practice offers practical real-world guidance that anticipates and addresses the risks that are characteristic of your workplace. Whether you need an updated personnel policy manual or advice about specific workplace situations, we can help you develop and implement policies and practices to help your business avoid liability in situations such as:

• Hiring and promotion practices
• Background checks and confidentiality issues
• Drug policies and substance abuse testing
• Overtime and exempt employee issues
• Race and sex discrimination
• Sexual harassment
• Disability discrimination, pregnancy leave, and FMLA issues
• Discipline and termination of problem employees
• Complaint investigation
• Avoiding charges of retaliation

The lawyers at our firm can also assist with the negotiation and documentation of non-compete and confidentiality agreements, independent contractor and temporary employment agreements, and severance packages.

For any New York or New Jersey employer, we recommend training for your managers and supervisors about state and federal employment law compliance and sound response techniques for handling problems, complaints, and poor performance.

Mitchell Pollack & Associates is also experienced with the negotiation and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. For additional information about the full range of our employment law services, contact an attorney at our Tarrytown or Mahwah offices.
