HARTFORD BUSINESS LAW ATTORNEYS
Skilled Guidance in Business Law and Contract Matters in Connecticut
Our attorneys have been advising individuals and businesses, both large and small, on business and contract matters for more than 30 years, and have drafted and reviewed the various business documents effectuating those arrangements.
Our business clients rely on our guidance and advice to create, sustain and grow their businesses and achieve their business objectives. We at Rome McGuigan advise on the full range of business issues, from forming the proper legal entity, to merging and contracting with other businesses. Whether advising on contracts for the closely held business around the corner or the multinational corporation doing business overseas, we recognize the need to understand the business and its objectives and to know the applicable laws in order to achieve those objectives.
We have significant experience in complex business matters, and are able to bring the appropriate commercial, financial, investigation and litigation experience required for the task. We work hard to anticipate and avoid problems, and have helped to shield many clients from needless and crippling litigation.
Business Law and Corporate Law Firm
Our attorneys regularly handle the purchase and sale of businesses, corporate governance, shareholder relations, business finance, and employment issues. We advise boards of directors, shareholders, and officers on their rights and responsibilities for their businesses.
Our Business and Contract lawyers are deeply familiar with all forms of business ownership, including corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, and joint ventures. We regularly handle all manner of transactions, and create and advise on contracts for the purchase, sale or lease of technology, heavy equipment, large and small businesses, inventory and parts.
We have drafted and helped negotiate consortium and strategic alliance agreements, stock purchases, industrial property leases, inventory management agreements, turnkey and construction contracts, as well as various technology transfer and licensing agreements.
LABOR & EMPLOYMENT LAW
The law of the workplace has grown more complex every year. The employment relationship, essentially contractual in nature, is regulated by state and federal statutes and the common law. The Labor and Employment lawyers at Rome McGuigan are prepared to guide you and your company through those complexities, to advise you in dealing with employment issues and to represent you when necessary to resolve employment disputes.
We advise employers on the initiation, formation and administration of the employment relationship, and the applicability of local, state and federal laws to the workplace. We frequently evaluate employee handbooks for compliance with the law and for the effectiveness of disclaimers of contractual liability. When the employment relationship breaks down and litigation of employment disputes is necessary or unavoidable, a vigorous defense can create leverage for negotiation of favorable settlements. Our thorough preparation and readiness to go to trial is often the best deterrent against the initiation of claims.
The termination of the employment relationship is a frequent source of disputes. However, the risk of litigation over claims arising from the termination of employment can be reduced or eliminated by the careful preparation and negotiation of separation agreements that contain effective waivers and releases of employment claims. We frequently advise employers in drafting, presenting, and negotiating effective releases that are compliant with applicable legal requirements.
We have substantial experience advising employers and litigating employment claims including common law and statutory claims arising from terminations, discipline and discharging, including:
* Harassment, hostile work environment, constructive discharge, breach of contract, discharge in violation of public policy, retaliatory discharge.
* Claims of violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act, the Workers' Compensation Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Employment Retirement Income Securities Act, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, whistleblowers laws and civil rights laws.
* In addition, we advise employers on the protection of trade secrets, and litigate claims of theft of trade secrets, breaches of the duty of confidentiality, breaches of covenants not to compete and breaches of fiduciary duty.
