Versant represents clients in preparing and interpreting employment and engaged agreements for companies, employees, consultants and independent contractors and in assisting its clients in determining whether individual workers are deemed to be employees or independent contractors under applicable state and federal law. Our employment lawyers counsel employers to prevent litigation as well as defending employers in wrongful termination, harassment and discrimination lawsuits.
Navigating the intricacies of the ever-changing federal and state laws and regulations that impact the workplace can be difficult, and non-compliance carries the risk of costly employment litigation and government penalties. At Versant, we work proactively with our clients to help them establish effective practices and policies and understand how the numerous statutes, regulations, codes and ordinances that govern the workplace affect their business.
