Employment Counseling and Training

Potter Anderson & Corroon’s Labor and Employment attorneys provide advice to human resources personnel and other members of management on personnel policies and practices, employee handbooks, summary plan descriptions, sexual harassment and equal employment policies, employment contracts, termination agreements and releases, and drug and alcohol policies as well as hiring, discipline and termination practices.  In recent years, we have assisted clients with corporate downsizing and outsourcing programs, providing advice on numerous complex issues, including potential WARN liabilities, age discrimination claims, voluntary early retirement separation programs involving the employer's defined benefit pension plan, severance benefit plans and agreements, and the impact of mass terminations on the employer's tax-qualified plans.

Our labor and employment lawyers place a strong emphasis on litigation avoidance and regularly provide training on employment-related topics such as union avoidance, employee supervision, discipline and discharge, sexual and other wrongful harassment, reductions-in-force, and employment discrimination.
