Employment Law - Employees
Chicago Area Employment Law Attorneys for Employees
Employment Contracts • Violations of Employment Law • Discrimination and Harassment
Ciesla & Ciesla is a business law firm providing legal services in all areas of business, including employment matters. While much of our practice is geared toward representation of the business, in the area of employment law we provide representation to both employers and employees.
We represent employees in two capacities:
- We provide legal advice and representation to business executives negotiating salaries, benefits, and executive employment contracts.
- We provide negotiation and litigation services to employees who have been the victims of hostile working environments or other employment law violations.
Employees seeking legal help benefit from our knowledgeable and firm, yet creative approach to resolving their legal issue. As a business law firm, we understand how businesses operate. We also know how businesses go wrong and the steps managers can take to address hostile working conditions and employment law violations. This allows us to negotiate effectively on our client's behalf. When you need legal help in negotiations or in the courtroom, contact our Northbrook, Illinois law office.
Resolving Employment Law Violations
Most employees simply want their problem to end with as little damage to their career as possible. In some cases, contact from an employment law attorney can set the wheels in motion. Sometimes more protracted negotiation is required to get an employer to take firm action. Sometimes employment litigation is necessary.
Our employment law attorneys help employees get fair treatment in the workplace … or justice in the courtroom in employment law cases involving:
- Discrimination or harassment
- Wage and hour claims and unpaid overtime claims
- Failure to make accommodations for a temporary or permanent disability as required under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
- Violations of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)
- Violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
Employee Compensation and Employment Contracts
Our attorneys have extensive experience developing and negotiating contracts between employers and employees. We consult with new and rising corporate executives on executive compensation packages and severance agreements. Allow us to protect your current and financial interests. Before you sign any contract, ask a lawyer to review it for you.
