Our lawyers defend employers in wage and hour lawsuits filed under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or similar state laws, ranging from individual claims to large collective actions. We defend claims involving such varied issues as failure to pay overtime, exemption status, independent contractor misclassification, child labor, off-the-clock work periods, meal and rest breaks, payroll deduction procedures, record-keeping, and other issues. We also represent employers in federal and state government on-site investigations and audits.
