• Contracts/agreements/manuals, for example, employment agreements, executive contracts, severance agreements, ADR agreements, non-compete and other post-termination agreements, employee handbooks and managerial manuals.
• Traditional labor, for example, union prevention audits and systems, anti-union campaigns, collective bargaining and management rights training.
• Government investigations, for example, EEO and other administrative charges as well as DOL and other investigations.
