Public Sector Representation

Public sector representation
While private sector employers face the ever-changing landscape of labor and employment laws, public sector employers face the additional challenges of addressing state and federal constitutional rights, including due process, first amendment, privacy, equal protection, and fourth amendment issues.
Public safety employers face unique challenges in responding to issues in the workplace. Public safety departments are subject to additional laws that govern the rights of employees, such as the Peace Officers Disciplinary Act, Firefighters Disciplinary Act, Weingarten and laws relating to due process. Our lawyers regularly advise public safety employers in disciplinary investigations and litigate disciplinary issues before Boards of Police and Fire Commissions and Civil Service Commissions.
We also routinely counsel public safety employers about injured worker issues. We help employers navigate through the interplay between worker’s compensation, the Public Employee Disability Act, the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act and pension entitlements.
Finally, we counsel public sector entities on general municipal issues arising under the Freedom of Information Act, Open Meetings Acts, ethics legislation and Personnel Records Review Act.
