The Waxman Law Firm?

O?ur clients rely on us to navigate the labyrinth of federal, state and local Employment Laws and the complexities of Employee Relations. Some have sophisticated HR departments and general counsel, but limited expertise in the nuances of employment law. We provide that expertise. Other clients are growing companies, or foreign companies doing business in the US, and are now subject to the numerous federal, state and city regulations. We bring them into compliance and help them develop and implement HR policies and procedures that save time and reduce exposure, so they can concentrate on growth.We emphasize prevention to avoid claims, or to be better positioned when claims do arise.We defend employment claims in all venues.
