Employment Law
Increasingly, businesses and individuals are confronted with employment-related disputes. Employers must remain vigilant in monitoring existing and new employment laws to minimize potential legal liability.
At Utreras Law Offices, our employment litigation attorneys have experience representing government entities such as the City of Chicago and Chicago Transit Authority, small, mid-size and Fortune 500 businesses, and individuals in state and federal employment cases. As a result, we understand the importance of ensuring the timely management and resolution of employment related legal disputes, investigations, and claims. We also have traditional labor arbitration, negotiation, and union experience, and have represented clients before administrative agencies such as the:
- Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
- Illinois Department of Human Rights
- Illinois Human Rights Commission
- Illinois Department of Labor
- U.S. Department of Labor
Our employment lawyers also work on behalf of businesses and individuals to ensure that employment relationships start properly and/or end appropriately, addressing the concerns of both parties. We are skilled in drafting, negotiating, and reviewing (and when necessary litigating) employment and compensation agreements, severance agreements, and non-compete or non-solicitation agreements.
Our employment attorneys also have experience working in-house as Human Resources Executives, and can appreciate the importance of providing effective employment law counsel to the various business units within a corporation. We can provide a wide range of human resources services to clients in need of such assistance.
