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
• Discrimination based on genetic information

The EEOC also enforces allegations of retaliation by a company if an employee complains about discrimination. 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.

At the same time, the NLRB protects workers from complaints of unfair labor practices and have a defined but complicated process for settling disputes that are covered by a policy. When your insured is facing an administrative proceeding, or litigation as either a defendant or plaintiff, our employment law attorneys explain all of the available options and work to choose the best and most cost-effective solution for your organization.
