Administrative Proceedings, Tribunals and Court
Let’s face it: No insurance company likes going to court or having to appear before an administrative tribunal on behalf of an insured. Our job is to be aggressive and sure-footed advocates for you. Because there are a large number of laws that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces where a company can be challenged by an employee for one of a number of claimed violations, the business’ insurer has the potential of facing widespread exposure:
- Sexual harassment
- Race discrimination
- Age discrimination
- Disability discrimination
- Discrimination based on national origin

We defend insurance companies covering businesses and public sector entities at EEOC hearings, and help ensure that your rights are observed and followed. Likewise, the National Labor Relations Board governs how employers and labor unions work together. The NLRB protects employee’s rights to organize and choose unions to represent them in negotiations with you.
