Employment Law

Snyder Park Nelson & Schwiebert’s employment law attorneys pride themselves in their ability to listen to their clients’ unique needs and issues to work with them in resolving employment-related issues in a manner that is both favorable and cost-effective. If litigation becomes necessary, our attorneys have the proven ability to both plan and implement an aggressive strategy to bring litigation to a successful conclusion, whether by mediation, arbitration or court trial.

To keep litigation to a minimum, the firm’s attorneys provide preventative counseling to help reduce the risk and potential for exposure. This is done, in part, by providing management with effective employment agreements and policies, implementing investigations of harassment allegations and advising the clients whether and how to effectuate employee termination or discipline.

The clients who utilize the firm’s employment law experience come from a wide range of industries -- some are large while others are small. What our clients have in common, however, is the undivided commitment of the firm’s attorneys to add value to the clients’business by assisting in satisfying their employment law legal needs.
