New York Employment Law Attorneys

The New York-based employment law attorneys at Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP are committed to ensuring strong and mutually beneficial employer / employee relationships. In addition to crafting strong employment agreements that protect the interests of both parties, our attorneys are regularly retained to intervene in the unfortunate circumstances in which such agreements are violated to help remedy such infractions and seek remunerations for the injured party or parties. We have successfully sought damages on behalf of clients in whistleblower cases, employment discrimination matters and U-5 disputes and more, with a strong focus on matters involving sexual harassment. We have substantial experience in providing the dedicated and exhaustive advocacy needed to obtain significant monetary awards. 

Strong Legal Protection in Employment Law Matters

Our lawyers primarily handle employment law issues involving:

• Employment contracts and agreements: Our employment law attorneys have substantial experience drafting and reviewing employment agreements, confidentiality agreements, severance agreements, noncompete agreements and independent contractor/consulting.
• Sexual Harassment /Employment Discrimination: The employment lawyers at Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP are dedicated to protecting the rights of employees in the workplace. We aggressively pursue damages on behalf of victims of sexual harassment or civil rights violations.
• Whistleblower retaliation: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act provides protection for employees who "blow the whistle" on their employer's wrongdoings. As a result, if you report your employer for violating SEC rules or regulations or committing other criminal acts, your employer cannot lawfully retaliate against you and, in many circumstances, you are entitled to a bounty for reporting such wrongdoings and violations.
• Wrongful termination: If you were terminated by your employer based upon a discriminatory purpose or in retaliation for reporting a hostile work environment or other unlawful employment practices, you may have a claim for employment discrimination and / or wrongful termination. Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP will advise and guide you on the proper course of action for achieving a just resolution of such a claim. If you are an employer seeking to avoid exposure to employment discrimination claims, we will advise you on the establishment and implementation of proper practices and procedures to protect against such claims.
• U-5 Issues: Our employment litigation attorneys possess significant securities law backgrounds and regularly represent brokers in attempting to clear negative information from U-5 reports. Our lawyers are also skilled negotiators and litigators who will seek monetary damages if U-5 information was inaccurate or reported in bad faith.

Whether you are seeking counsel on a sexual harassment matter, a claim of employment discrimination, a whistleblower matter, an employment contract and/or agreement or a U-5 issue, the employment attorneys at Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP have the knowledge and experience to serve as effective advocates on your behalf. To speak with one of our New York employment attorneys, contact our firm online or call 212-319-7600.
