Ives & Associates has broad experience representing both corporations and employees in employment law cases. When representing employees, we ensure that terminated or threatened employees’ rights have not been violated. Virginia, Maryland and D.C. all adhere to the “at-will” doctrine which permits terminations of employment without cause. Nevertheless, we have been successful in winning or settling numerous claims by utilizing such laws as the Americans with Disabilities Act (“A.D.A.”), the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”), the Family Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). We have also helped employees protect themselves against unduly restrictive covenants not to compete.
We also have experience in assisting individuals in obtaining unemployment wages, and filing disability claims.
We have also helped several companies defend themselves against meritless cases before various governmental agencies and courts of law. With respect to representing employers, Ives & Associates has experience in drafting employee handbooks and various employment contracts..
