Our Services

Manage Your Workforce Effectively

The employer-employee relationship is vital to any business's success. When issues arise that strain this relationship, you need expert legal guidance. At Fleck Eckert Klein, we assist employers in achieving their employment goals and mitigating risks associated with workplace issues. Our expertise spans a broad spectrum of everyday and sensitive employment matters, including personnel policies, disciplinary actions, discrimination, leave management, and wage and hour issues.

We also provide comprehensive support for employee relations in business transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, dissolutions, and structural reorganizations.

Reduce Your Risk

We work with you to minimize the risk of employee lawsuits through policy development and training. Our services include training supervisors on compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and related state and federal laws. We also help you maintain your employment-at-will status and address issues with independent contractors and temporary employees.

When Litigation is Unavoidable

Although the best approach to litigation is often prevention, sometimes conflicts are inevitable. We thoroughly analyze each situation to determine liability and recommend the optimal course of action.

When litigation is necessary, our courtroom experience and deep understanding of state and federal employment laws provide a significant advantage in cases involving:

  • Age, race, or gender discrimination

  • Sexual harassment

  • Wage and hour disputes

  • Wrongful termination claims

  • Trade secrets, confidentiality agreements, and restrictive covenants

  • In today's workplace environment, employers face heightened risks of discrimination and harassment claims. Fleck Eckert Klein is trusted by businesses of all sizes to resolve allegations of discrimination involving age, race, sex, religion, disability, and other protected classifications.

    Whether facing a potentially frivolous lawsuit or a significant liability, we conduct thorough investigations and provide strategic guidance to help you navigate your options effectively. Our approach is customized to align with your management style and operational needs, always mindful of your litigation budget constraints.

    As experienced trial attorneys, we vigorously defend your interests in discrimination and harassment litigation before regulatory bodies such as the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, New Jersey Human Relations Commission, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and in state and federal courts across Pennsylvania Maryland, and New Jersey. Additionally, we adeptly handle cases through alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, arbitration, and collective bargaining agreement grievance procedures. Trust us to safeguard your business with proactive prevention strategies and robust legal defense.
