Employment disputes are among the most disruptive legal challenges a business can face. Allegations of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, or wage violations threaten not only your business’s financial position, but also its reputation in the community. At SFBBG, we approach employment litigation with a clear understanding of how these disputes affect your operations in the short- and long-term.

Our attorneys bring decades of experience defending employers in state and federal courts, as well as before administrative agencies. We understand that every employment matter must be taken seriously, and we tailor our strategy to resolve disputes in ways that protect the business as a whole.

Adverse employment actions affect individuals financially and emotionally. At SFBBG, we are ready to guide employees through these difficult transitions, including filing charges and litigating if necessary.

Providing Proactive Litigation Support

Some cases begin with a demand letter, while others might kick off with a formal complaint or agency notice. SFBBG is equipped to step in at any stage, whether you need us to immediately take charge of your matter or provide ongoing strategic guidance. Our litigation team regularly defends and pursues claims involving:

  • Wrongful discharge
  • Hostile work environment
  • Wage disputes
  • Breach of contract
  • Workplace discrimination
  • Non-compete clause or other restrictive covenants 

While many matters can be resolved through careful negotiation, our attorneys are also fully prepared to take cases to trial when necessary. We have appeared in court in employment matters across a wide range of industries, and that experience could be invaluable to you or your organization.

Strategic Approach to Risk and Resolution

At SFBBG, we do not treat employment litigation as routine. Every dispute must be managed in the context of the business and people it affects. That is why we work closely with individuals, company leadership, and human resources personnel to evaluate how litigation intersects with their priorities. Sometimes the best result involves a quiet resolution. While negotiated settlements can be in your best interests in many cases, there are times when publicly litigating a claim can be the best option for protecting your reputation or deterring bad-faith lawsuits. Our team knows what is at stake every time a conflict leads to litigation, and we are ready to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

For employers, we also work to limit future exposure through litigation-informed compliance strategies. What happens in court can often reveal weaknesses in training, documentation, or enforcement practices. Our business clients rely on us to help close those gaps while the case is ongoing and to leave their policies stronger than before the dispute arose. We believe that a long-view approach is part of what sets us apart.

Reach Out to SFBBG As Soon As Possible

Employment litigation demands more than legal knowledge. In order for your organization to be successful, you need a combination of business judgment and trial experience that can help you get the outcome you deserve. SFBBG brings those qualities to every case, and we will work tirelessly to protect your organization’s position and reputation. Instead of attempting to resolve these disputes on your own, reach out to our team for a confidential consultation today. 

Client Testimonials

I had the privilege of working with Adam Maxwell and the team at SFBGG during a challenging legal battle with former business partners. From the outset, Adam and his team were proactive, empathetic, and fully committed to first fully understand my situation, and then fight for my interests. Their focus on service was evident in every interaction—always keeping me informed, addressing my concerns, and strategizing effectively to protect my company and me.

 

Sandra Mertens provided excellent work and guidance throughout this process. We truly felt you were 100% in our corner, and we greatly appreciated your candor and willingness to give clear advice. That level of commitment isn’t always easy to find. We’re very grateful for everything you did to help us get this across the finish line.

 

Christian Manalli has been our estate attorney for over twenty-five years. As our family circumstances have changed through the years and our financial needs have changed, Christian has been there every step of the way. He has always taken the time to listen and ask questions to understand our ideas for our family’s future and is always there to answer questions. My wife and I have trusted him with our family’s financial future. And now our children are entrusting Christian for their generational estate planning.

 

“Well done, Adam Glazer and Andrew Johnson! Like I said before, we know we had the best representation we could possibly have had.”

 

My previous attorney’s decision to seek other employment instead of focus on my case was a blessing in disguise, as it led to my meeting SFBBG and Sandra Mertens and very quickly gaining confidence that they have my back. I take great comfort in knowing that I am being very well represented.
