Robert Crawford has a great deal of knowledge gained working with the laws governing employment termination. He is capable of providing clients with sophisticated advice prior to the termination of an employee to protect the employer and he provides advice to employees who feel they have been wrongfully terminated from a job. Our firm offers counsel in all matters involving employment termination, including:

• Termination of government employees without just cause: Prior to termination of government employees, the employee must be provided with a reasonable explanation of the prospective termination (a termination letter) which the employee may respond to or challenge. We represent government employees who have been terminated without just cause or without proper due process.
• Termination of employment for discriminatory reasons: Employment discrimination, such as age, religion, gender, or race is prohibited by law. We represent employees and employers involved in litigation arising from discrimination claims.
• Other employment termination issues: When employment is terminated, either voluntarily or involuntarily, there are often other considerations which need to be addressed, especially for professionals and executives. Our attorneys assist with negotiating, drafting and reviewing severance agreements, non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements and other employment agreement issues which arise upon employment termination.
