Employer/Employee Law

The Law Offices of Kirk Halpin & Associates, P.A. has substantial experience representing our business clients in connection with various employment law issues. Our employment law counseling services include:

  • Employment Manuals, Forms and Policies. The firm develops and updates employment policies, employee manuals, and personnel forms for both small to medium size companies. We also assist employers in developing anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies and procedures that comply with federal, state, and local laws. These policies and procedures are designed to comply with existing laws and provide defenses and minimize exposure in the event of litigation.
  • Employment and Restrictive Covenant Agreements. The firm is regularly called upon by companies to draft employment agreements as well as other types of employee agreements for both management and non-management personnel. We also draft non-competition and non-solicitation agreements to prevent employees from competing against an employer and soliciting other employees and suppliers to terminate their relationship with an employer. We also prepare confidentiality agreements to protect intellectual property and other proprietary information.
  • Transaction Support. The firm assists employers engaged in merger and acquisition transactions with due diligence reviews of pending and potential employment claims. We also work with employers who are purchasing other companies to review and modify employment policies, evaluate potential retirement and other employment liabilities.
For the employee, we review proposed employment agreements, relocation agreements, separation agreements, and other contracts or documents which potentially affect the client's interests.
