Coddington, Hicks & Danforth represents employers and employees in employment-related disputes and litigation, including disputes over wages, wage and hour, conditions of employment, discrimination and termination of employment. For employers, including small and large businesses, we draft and review employment-related documents, including written employment policies, procedures and manuals. From our office in Redwood City, we represent clients located throughout Northern California and the state.
Employment Manuals
The firm has an expanding practice counseling businesses and reviewing their employment and policy manuals to help employees and employers comply with the applicable labor laws; properly enumerate company policies, practices, and guidelines; and minimize the likelihood of future disputes. As part of our comprehensive service, we help employers address such important issues as policies against discrimination, harassment, and retaliation; reporting and investigations; maintenance of personnel records; wage and hour; employee benefits; vacation and leave; disability; rules of conduct; workplace conditions and safety; and other relevant issues.
Wrongful Termination/Discrimination/Civil Rights Violations/Wage and Hour
We assist clients in wrongful termination claims and litigation involving a variety of allegations, including alleged breaches of employment agreements; wage and hour disputes;claimed violations of federal and state anti-discrimination laws and other labor laws; firing in conjunction with sexual harassment claims; and various forms of retaliation in the employment setting.
Wrongful termination cases can require extensive trial preparation, including thorough investigation, preservation of evidence, legal analysis, strategic planning and negotiation, and effective courtroom advocacy. In each case, we begin by developing a strategic plan, helping to ensure that our representation is not only effective, but also cost-efficient. To that end, we attempt to negotiate settlements when possible and beneficial, but we will not hesitate to aggressively pursue litigation when necessary.
