Building Strong Employers Through Experience

Experienced Legal Guidance Strengthens Employers

I have the unique experience of starting my legal career representing employees and labor unions which has allowed me to approach representation of Employers from a strategic perspective. The past employee and labor union knowledge combined with the diversity of public and private sector Employers I have represented translates into constructive insights to address and avoid labor and employment issues.

Guiding Philosophy Toward Protecting Employers

I work with Employers as an attorney, but I also serve as an advocate and counselor to develop proactive strategies to save Employers the time and expenses associated with challenging labor and employment disputes. I stay updated on the newest labor and employment laws and administrative rules and work with Employers to revise their policies and procedures to stay ahead of potential complications. Education, prevention, and early intervention allow Employers to make informed decisions and envision all possible outcomes which allows the Employer to focus upon the overall operations and success of the organization.

 

Approach To Client Services

I value building long-term relationships with our Employers and I invest the time and effort to learn how and why your organization operates. Operational knowledge is critical for The Stewart Law Firm to provide quality, effective legal services. The Stewart Law Firm becomes a friendly, reliable, professional member of your organization. I make myself available to Employers because early intervention often prevents labor and employment matters escalating into a costlier, more complicated legal matter.

 

Dispute Resolution

Sometimes an Employer can prepare as much as possible to protect their workplace and unfortunately, labor and employment disputes develop. When disputes surface in the workplace The Stewart Law Firm, P.C. has developed the following three-point framework for success:

  1. Resolving disputes in an expeditious manner: The longer disputes linger, the more they cost in terms of resources, energy, and money.

  2. Pursuing an early settlement: Engaging in settlement negotiations early on is not a sign of weakness. On the contrary, it’s a means of setting expectations, narrowing the highly contentious issues, and controlling costs.

  3. Leveraging thoughtful strategies and procedures: By following carefully tailored templates and procedures for resolving disputes, you can reduce the risk of getting entangled in burdensome litigation.

By following this framework, most labor and employment disputes can be resolved in a fair and cost-effective manner without resorting to litigation.
