Pavone & Cohen, is dedicated to the representation of employers in Labor and Employment matters. We assist and direct our clients to establish and maintain control over their workforce and to limit potential liabilities.

The environment for profitable operations has eroded in recent years. Recent legislative actions and court decisions have been brutal to struggling companies by mandating a continuing reduction of management's rights. Progressive and enlightened management must remain flexible and competitive by becoming aware of practical strategies to anticipate and prevent exposure and to minimize liability.

An emphasis in prevention and planning allows our clients to operate with confidence that their employment practices comply with all legal requirements. Our approach to business matters factors the need for preventive measures against the risks that are always associated with operating any business. We are grounded in a common sense/practical and cost sensitive/cost effective view of the problems that arise in everyday business. Our emphasis is in resolving problems, whether by direct negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation. Ferreting out the "real" problem and finding the options that allow our clients to make the best decisions to meet their various individual needs is a major strength of our firm.

Our practice covers discrimination, trade secrets unfair business practices, management training, wrongful termination, labor-management relations, employee handbooks, workers compensation cases, lawsuit risk minimalization, and wage and hour compliance/defense.
