Employment Law

Practice Chairwoman: Juli E. Lapin 

The attorneys of Robinson Waters & O’Dorisio, P.C. employment law practice group advocate on behalf of employers and employees in arbitration, litigation and complex counseling matters. Collectively, they have more than 70 years of experience in employment law matters. Each of them brings a balanced perspective in advising their clients, which, in part, is the result of having represented employers and employees.

For employers, we offer employee handbook drafting and review; preparation of employment policies, employment agreements, non-competition and confidentiality agreements, and severance agreements; advice concerning employee problems and litigation avoidance.

For employees, RWO attorneys offer advice on an extensive range of matters, including employment agreements, non-competition agreements, confidentiality agreements and severance agreements.  We represent clients with discrimination, wrongful discharge claims, and other termination disputes.

If disputes cannot be settled informally, RWO attorneys are prepared to represent their clients in court, arbitration and government agency actions at the trial and appellate levels.
