Our Practice

Employment

Tsao-Wu, Chow and Yee's employment litigation attorneys offer a range of services to enforce the rights of both employers and employees. We have considerable experience litigating both sides of wrongful termination claims, on statutory violations as well as public policy grounds. This includes cases of workplace discrimination based on gender, race, age, disability, and other protected status on both the state and federal level. We have litigated against both individuals and major corporations, as well as going up against the local, state, and Federal government.

We also have extensive experience in wage and hour violation claims, and can help you recover years of unpaid back wages and overtime. In situations like these where time is of the essence, the earlier an employee evaluates his or her situation with one of our experienced attorneys, the more likely an accurate record of events can be documented and a resolution achieved.

Tsao-Wu, Chow and Yee lawyers also represents both employers and aggrieved employees in claims of sexual harassment. These claims involve complex legal issues against an emotional backdrop that requires counsel to skillfully, forcefully, yet appropriately advance the client's cause. Our lawyers keep abreast of new and developing employment law and regulations in order to efficiently yet fully protect our clients' interests.

Our employment lawyers are well versed in employment issues pertaining to enforceability of employment contracts, including employer/employee agreements governing protections of employer proprietary information and competition. These employment issues are on the rise, as is evidenced by the expansion of litigation in this area.

We also welcome the opportunity to provide our clients with training and seminars in the area of employment law.
