Protect Yourself, Your Company in Claims of Wrongful Termination

In our last blog post, we discussed situations in which an employee may have grounds to pursue a wrongful termination claim. In that post, we cited employment contracts, retaliation and discrimination as factors that could prove to be crucial in these situations.

We also noted that these cases can be extraordinarily complicated. For example, if you are on the employer side of the dispute, you may have a completely different view on the series of events that led up to a termination. To successfully prove your side of the issue, you can work with an attorney to dispute the legal claim against you and potentially have it dismissed before trial or be successful in court.

Employers facing wrongful termination lawsuits can benefit from legal representation in a number of different ways.

Trying to compile, organize and present documentation, witness statements and other pieces of evidence can be a time-consuming, complicated task that requires legal knowledge and experience. Without this, an employer can find it all but impossible to stay focused on a business because he or she is so consumed by the legal process.

Having an attorney by your side can also be a crucial factor in challenging claims made by the plaintiff. Long before a case ever reaches a courtroom, it can be possible to file motions to seek the dismissal of evidence or call into question statements made by a plaintiff's witnesses or their character.

Defending against claims of a wrongful termination can be an uphill battle. However, the attorneys at our law firm know that protecting employers in matters of employment disputes can be crucial, and we are prepared to help people in this situation strategize and identify possible resolutions that can limit the an employer's exposure to bad press, financial repercussions and a tarnished reputation.
