Human resources are the key ingredient to a company's success or failure, regardless of industry. As a result, the field of labor and employment law is an expansive one. Labor and employment lawyers suggest preventative measures, give general employment advice or defend individual and class claims.

Proactive advice, training and litigation avoidance programs are the cornerstone of our advocacy. We respond to OFCCP, OSHA and other government investigations. We work to avoid unions and deal more effectively with existing ones. We simplify immigration or ADA concerns. We guide successful, real world diversity implementations. We integrate employee compensation, trade secret and tax interests.

Companies that employ thousands of employees and start-ups that are hiring their first workers go to PoGo with regards to these matters. In consequence, the firm's labor and employment lawyers have dealt with every type of employment issue our clients face. We provide, in turn, technical knowledge for general counsel aligned with practical guidance for human resources managers.

Together, we have:

• Defended EEOC and related state charges
• Handled employment discrimination litigation in federal and a wide variety of state courts
• Defended wrongful discharge and breach of contract claims
• Handled employment-related tort actions
• Defended against class actions, including in the discrimination, plant closing and wage and hour areas
