Employment Defense

Tucson Employment Defense Attorneys – We Know What Is At Stake

As Tucson employment defense attorneys, we understand and frequently represent companies and their officers in employment matters.  We know that employment claims can not only have a monetary impact on a company, but also put the reputations of the company and of its officers at stake.

Our employment defense litigation practice involves defending employers in a wide variety of disputes involving employees, both in state and federal court and before governmental agencies, including the Arizona Department of Economic Security, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the U.S. Department of Labor.  Such employment claims and matters we regularly handle are:

  • Wrongful discharge claims,
  • Age and gender discrimination claims,
  • Civil rights violations,
  • Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, and
  • Wage-and-hour violations.

How We Defend Clients

Defending a client’s employment practices and policies often involves a number of inquiries – whether company officers or others acted wrongfully in enforcing company policies or by failing to comply with the law, whether other policies or practices could have prevented the alleged wrongful conduct, and whether the company knew of or condoned the alleged wrongful conduct of its management level employees and officers.   Whether the claim is one brought by an employee directly, or brought on behalf of that employee by an agency such as the EEOC, retaining an experienced employment litigator quickly can make the difference.

We understand and take seriously employment defense claims.  If you or your company has been sued or is threatened with a lawsuit, please call Mick Rusing or Sean Brearcliffe so that we may explain how we can help you.
