Advising a U.S. company on employment law liability and response options for a personnel action

We reviewed the company's liability under employment law and its response options regarding legal issues raised in connection with a personnel action taken by a local U.S. company.

The main issues were whether the personnel action constituted unlawful retaliation under U.S. employment law and what legal liability the company could face.

We reviewed U.S. federal and state employment laws and relevant case law to analyze whether legal liability could arise, and proposed fact-finding and response procedures to prevent future disputes.

Based on the materials then available, we assessed the likelihood that legal liability would be found and recommended a response plan to minimize the company's legal risk.
