Representing Florida Employers
Employers of any size need a reliable and readily available source of legal counsel regarding employment issues. The business and employment attorneys of Burke Blue understand this. That is why we seek to form long-term relationships with corporate and business clients and remain accessible to employers to provide legal advice on employment issues.
For employers, maintaining compliance with state and federal laws and preventing employee disputes can be a full-time job in itself. The business and employment lawyers of Burke Blue fully understand this and work to help employers avoid issues before they start:
- Discrimination and harassment violations
- Wrongful personnel actions
- Wage and hour disputes
- Employee benefits
- Employment agents
- Non-compete agreements
- Confidentiality issues
- Employment contracts
- Whistle-blowers
- Employer Policies
Employment disputes can be damaging to a business when not handled properly. While prevention is the best policy, even the most carefully drafted contracts and policies may not be enough to avoid all employment issues. When disputes do arise with employees, it is important to be informed and to act quickly. Employers who maintain a relationship with an employment attorney at Burke Blue can count on having access to a legal professional who is familiar with their business and provides prompt and effective legal counsel and representation in state or federal court.
Protection for employees
Many working people in Florida may not realize the full extent of their rights under state and federal law. Such laws and regulations seek to level the playing field between employees and employers, but these rights and remedies do not amount to much when employees fail to effectively assert them. The employment attorneys of Burke Blue thoroughly understand the rights employees have against their employers. We help workers throughout the Panhandle region fight on-the-job age, gender and racial discrimination and harassment, unfair contract provisions and wage and hour disputes.
