For Business and Management
Workplace Investigations
Internal legal and human resources teams often lack the capacity, objectivity and experience to conduct an appropriate investigation into complaints of ethics violations, misuse of technology, discrimination or harassment in the workplace. Utilizing a neutral third party investigator avoids these issues and mitigates the risk of a defense attorney becoming a witness in litigation.
Human Resources Consulting
We offer strategic workplace counsel on all aspects of the employment relationship to employers of all sizes in a wide range of industries. Defense of employment law claims begins with the response to an employee’s internal complaint of discrimination.
Workplace Training
In light of quickly evolving laws that govern the workplace, effective training has become one of today’s most highly demanded professional services. We offer training designed to help your managers and employees understand what is (and is not) acceptable behavior.
Employment Law Defense
Our successful employment law practice on behalf of employees makes us well-equipped to defend employers before administrative agencies, and state and federal courts.
Executive Contracts and Compensation
We regularly negotiate and draft employment contracts for individual employees as well as businesses. We are often tapped to draft narrowly tailored restrictive covenants for our business clients as well as non-solicitation agreements and confidentiality agreements.
Labor Law
We prosecute and defend unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board and the Illinois Public Labor Relations Board.
Class and Collective Actions
Herschman Levison PLLC has experience defending and prosecuting collective and class action claims in both state and federal courts under the FLSA, Title VII, and the Biometric Information and Privacy Act (“BIPA”).
Employee Handbook Drafting
We regularly draft employee handbooks, updates, and policies for our clients.
Commercial Litigation
Your business objectives drive our approach to handling your litigation. We approach all matters with the understanding that our clients are not in the business of litigation. It is our business to understand your objectives and to obtain favorable results in a cost-effective matter.
Corporate Matters
We provide counsel on corporate governance and business formation for our employer and employee clients.
Insurance Coverage
Most of us have insurance policies – but are unaware of how the claims process works and what coverage is available under existing policies. We aggressively advocate your insurance coverage position when disputes arise under comprehensive general liability, directors’ and officers’ liability, employment practices liability and professional liability errors and omissions policies.
