Overview

Hatcher Stubbs’ Employment Law Group offers the full scope of labor and employment related services to clients.  The attorneys in this group have extensive experience in representing individuals and the largest public and private entities in our region.  In addition to providing guidance on avoiding unnecessary litigation, our Employment Law Group also has extensive experience defending employers against claims of wrongful termination, breach of employment contract, and other employment-related charges, claims and suits.  We also represent employees in their claims on a selective basis.

We handle claims involving individual employment discrimination, harassment and retaliation suits.  The Firm has provided counsel for all types of claims, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Rehabilitation Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the United States Service in Employment Reinstatement Act, 42 U.S.C. §1983 or 42 U.S.C. §1981.  We regularly appear before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as the Department of Labor.

Not all employment issues are related to discrimination or harassment. We also have experience handling disputes related to trade secrets and non-compete agreements, as well as unemployment claims. Our employment attorneys have successfully argued before a variety of administrative agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Georgia Department of Education, and the Office of Civil Rights, and many federal and state courts, including the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.  The Firm provides counsel through every stage of the litigation.
