Description

Litigation can be costly and often drags on far too long. To resolve your employment issues and get your company back to business, there are methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) which can fast-track your solution. Our Chicago employment law firm has worked extensively in mediation and arbitration of disputes between workers and employees. As your employment mediation attorneys, we counsel you through the process of negotiating a mutually beneficial solution. As your arbitration counsel, we advocate for your position in binding and nonbinding processes decided by a neutral party.

While most employment these days is “at will,” certain employees are hired under a contract that stipulates a specific term of employment and specific causes for termination. Absent clear evidence of cause for discharge, a termination would breach the contract, and the employee could sue for damages. Goldman & Ehrlich has vast experience in breach of employment contract lawsuits. For more than 25 years, our Chicago wrongful termination attorneys have represented fired employees and businesses in wrongful termination actions alleging breach of contract.

If you have been the target of age discrimination, Goldman & Ehrlich can help. We provide in-depth consultation to discern the particular circumstances of your cause of action. We investigate your employer’s HR practices to uncover patterns of behavior that might help your case. We have vast experience negotiating settlements, including reinstatement and monetary damages, and litigating claims before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Illinois Department of Human Rights, the Illinois Human Rights Commission and in state and federal court.

Freedom from religious discrimination goes beyond the right to receive equal pay and career opportunities. It also includes reasonable accommodation of one’s religious practices. Accommodations may include the right to wear religious garments or ornamentation, and time off for religious observances. However, accommodations are dependent upon the type of work one does and the setting. If you believe that your religious freedom has been infringed, our Chicago discrimination attorneys can help. We provide personalized service with an experienced partner attorney.

At Goldman & Ehrlich, you have direct access to partner attorneys with more than 45 years of combined experience representing federal and other government employees. We do not delegate cases to junior associates; one of our partners manages your case from start to successful finish. With considerable insight into the challenges federal employees face, we can advise you and protect your rights against discrimination and other unfair employment practices.
