The field of employment law has emerged as the fastest growing area of civil litigation. Chasan Leyner & Lamparello has recognized this trend and has emerged as a statewide leader in the field of employment law. Our attorneys have appeared on behalf of both management and employees in federal and state courts as well as before state administrative tribunals. Our experienced litigators, including certified civil trial attorneys, have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of this rapidly changing field of law, frequently handling matters involving both the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and Title VII. That trial practice has included cases involving sexual harassment, race discrimination, national origin discrimination, pregnancy discrimination and disability/handicap discrimination. The firm has obtained defense verdicts in cases involving claims of sexual harassment, racial discrimination, whistleblower actions and hostile work environment claims. Our specific practice areas include: DEFENDING MANAGEMENT IN EMPLOYMENT-RELATED LAWSUITS: We have substantial experience in evaluating and protecting clients from employee-related lawsuits and our successful and cost-efficient representation in all types of employment matters has earned us a reputation as a leader in the field. Our extensive litigation background has led to frequent successful results in mediations, settlements, motions and appellate practice. EDUCATION: Because of the constant changes in the field of employment law, we emphasize the importance of training and education to all management clients. We have experience in creating, reviewing and revising employment policies, employee manuals, employee handbooks and anti-harassment policies. We also perform investigations and provide seminars and training to supervisors and staff. We have also provided counseling to clients on matters involving both the New Jersey Family Leave Act and the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act. REPRESENTING EMPLOYEES: The firm also represents numerous employees in matters ranging from negotiation severance packages to claims of racial discrimination. The firm has obtained successful results in cases arising under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination in the areas of sexual harassment, hostile work environment and racial discrimination.
