- Employment Contracts
- Employee Discrimination

- Workplace Training
- Wrongful Termination
Employment Discrimination and Harassment
Federal laws like Title VII and the Florida Civil Rights Act prohibit workplace discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, national origin, pregnancy, and disability. These same laws cover hostile work environment claims and sexual harassment. If you’ve experienced mistreatment at work, we can help you file a claim with the EEOC or the Florida Commission on Human Relations—or pursue accountability through negotiation or litigation.
Retaliation and Wrongful Termination
If you were terminated after reporting misconduct, requesting accommodations, filing a wage complaint, or participating in a workplace investigation, you may have a claim for illegal retaliation or wrongful termination. Our Palm Beach County employment attorneys help clients pursue reinstatement, back pay, and compensation for lost income and emotional distress.
Non-Compete Agreements and Contractual Compliance
Non-compete agreements are often used in Palm Beach County to protect legitimate business interests. However, Florida courts only enforce them when they are reasonable in geographic scope, time, and business restrictions. Whether you’re looking to enforce an agreement or break free from one, our firm provides smart, strategic guidance.
Palm Beach County Wage and Hour Conflicts
Under Florida law and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees are entitled to receive at least the state minimum wage and, if non-exempt, overtime pay. If you are owed unpaid wages or were misclassified as exempt or an independent contractor, we can help you recover what you deserve. We also assist employers with wage audits to avoid penalties and correct compliance gaps.
Whistleblower Protections
Under Florida’s Whistleblower Act, Palm Beach County employees who report illegal activity, safety violations, or public misconduct are protected from retaliation. If you were disciplined, demoted, or fired after speaking out, our attorneys can help you build a strong claim for protection and compensation.
Severance Agreements and Contracts
You have legal rights—so you should fully understand them before signing an employment or severance agreement. We assist both employers and employees in Palm Beach County with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts that are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your goals.
Legal Advice for Palm Beach County Employers
We regularly advise local businesses on employment law compliance and HR best practices. From drafting employee handbooks and workplace policies to conducting investigations and training sessions, our firm helps employers stay ahead of legal risks and protect their operations.
HIPAA Compliance and Healthcare Employment Law
Healthcare professionals and medical businesses in Palm Beach County must comply with HIPAA regulations and labor laws specific to the industry. We assist medical practices, dental offices, and clinics with HIPAA training, employment policies, and compliance procedures to help them avoid violations and maintain safe, lawful workplaces.
Filing a Claim with FCHR or the EEOC
If you’ve experienced unlawful treatment at work, your first step may be filing a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). We guide Palm Beach County clients through the preparation, submission, and resolution of claims—whether through mediation, investigation, or litigation.
