Employment Law

Martin Tate advises and represents clients on the full range of workplace legal issues. We understand that employment matters affect people's livelihoods and businesses' operations. We give practical, timely guidance aimed at preventing disputes where we can and resolving them efficiently where we cannot.

We counsel clients on the everyday legal questions that come up in the employment relationship, including:

• Hiring, onboarding, and termination decisions
• Drafting and reviewing employment agreements, offer letters, and separation agreements
• Restrictive covenants, such as non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements
• Employee handbooks, workplace policies, and compliance with state and federal employment laws
• Workplace investigations and discipline

When disagreements arise, we represent clients in negotiations, administrative proceedings, and litigation. Our experience includes:

• Claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation
• Wrongful termination and breach of employment contract disputes
• Enforcement of, or defense against, restrictive covenants
• Charges before the EEOC and state agencies
• Mediation, arbitration, and trial

Whether the goal is preventing a dispute or resolving one, we work to understand each client's business and priorities and to reach practical outcomes efficiently.
