Employment Consulting

As your business grows, the legal aspects of employee relations become increasingly complex. The Neider & Boucher, S.C. employment attorneys can assist you in managing all aspects of the employment relationship. Focusing primarily on proactive counseling and practical solutions, we provide day-to-day advice on personnel practices, such as hiring, performance management, harassment investigations, discipline, and discharge. In addition, we work closely with our clients in developing state-of-the-art employment policies and manuals, employment agreements, non-competition and confidentiality agreements, severance agreements, and other forms and documents that meet their individual needs.

A complex maze of state and federal law governs the employment relationship. Our attorneys provide guidance on compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act, the Madison Equal Opportunities Ordinance, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, wage and hour laws, OSHA, HIPAA, ERISA, immigration laws, unemployment insurance, workers compensation, and similar statutes, regulations, and ordinances. As part of our commitment to help clients solve problems and avoid disputes, we frequently provide education and training to clients and their employees on a wide variety of legal compliance issues, including EEO issues, harassment, employee privacy, FMLA and ADA compliance, and wage and hour issues.

Although our primary focus is on being proactive, we also will help you resolve employment-related disputes when they do arise. We have the expertise to help you mediate disputes before they result in litigation. In addition, when necessary, we have experienced attorneys who can represent your business before state and federal agencies, in arbitration proceedings, and in court. See our description of our dispute resolution services at Employment Dispute Resolution and Litigation.

We can also help you with issues relating to purchasing and selling a business, such as human resources due diligence; and we also can provide you with critical legal guidance for managing layoffs, plant closings, and reductions in force.

Our focus is to provide you with prompt, knowledgeable, and practical solutions that will help you manage your workforce and avoid legal claims.
