We want our clients to focus on their business and let our Labor & Employment team worry about minimizing and managing the day-to-day problems that arise on the job site, factory floor, and your place of business. Our attorneys carefully evaluate each of our clients for a broad spectrum of employment litigation scenarios unique to your industry in conjunction with our firm’s practice groups such as construction, healthcare, hospitality, insurance, and transportation. We equip our clients with the tools they need to avoid employment-related litigation, including creating and implementing personnel and worksite policies and drafting and updating employee handbooks. We consult with clients before discipline and termination, reassignment, or lay-offs, and we provide pre-suit investigative, evaluative, and counseling services. When it is time to hire, our team advises, negotiates, and constructs employment agreements that fit your business, and when it is time to part ways, we protect our clients with litigation avoidance strategies and separation agreements that lessen a departure’s impact on your business.

While our preventive measures and litigation avoidance strategies create tremendous cost and time savings for our clients, we are effective litigators. The Fee Smith Labor & Employment team’s success in defending claims of wrongful discharge, employment discrimination, workplace harassment, and workplace injury, is grounded in our experience and talent as Texas trial lawyers. We take pride in immediately identifying your business objectives and working promptly and efficiently to meet those objectives. We have successfully achieved early resolution of numerous claims in administrative hearings and through nominal settlements. We aggressively defend claims through the administrative process, trial, and appellate courts in both state and federal jurisdictions throughout Texas. Our goal is to defend you while your business remains fully operational.
