Employment Litigation

Graubard Miller encourages clients to seek counsel regarding employer/employee disputes at the earliest possible stage. Early-stage advice assists clients in resolving potential controversies and avoiding litigation. If litigation does ensue, early-stage advice assists clients in achieving a favorable litigation position.

We represent employers and employees in litigating employment claims in state and federal courts, in arbitration, and before various federal, state and local agencies and commissions. Such disputes, among other things, may involve restrictive covenants that prohibit competition and the solicitation of clients or employees, breach of and tortious interference with contract, misappropriation of trade secrets and claims of discrimination, including discrimination based on age, race, national origin, disability and sexual orientation, and claims of harassment.

Our clients in employment disputes include investment banks, brokerage firms, senior executives, managers and brokers, as well as companies and employees in fields such as aerospace, communications, condominiums and cooperative corporations, e‑commerce, entertainment, insurance, publishing, manufacturing, retail and technology.
