Labor & Employment Law

Strong & Hanni’s Employment Law Group has experience representing both employers in a variety of businesses, industries, and professional settings in employment matters.

Our attorneys deal with a range of employment issues including wrongful and retaliatory discharge actions, charges and suits alleging race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability and age discrimination and sexual harassment under Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 1981, as well as claims brought pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act and Fair Labor Standards Act.

Our Labor & Employment Law Group has assisted employers on overtime exemptions, employment agreements and severance agreements, sensitivity training, investigations of internal claims of workplace harassment, discipline and discharge, workplace safety issues, restrictive covenants and NDAs. We help in creating and revising internal policies and procedures, including employee handbooks, anti-harassment policies, and job applications.

For unionized workforces, we assist with collective bargaining, labor arbitration, and defense of Unfair Labor Practice charges.  We provide training on union avoidance.

In addition to analysis and counsel, our attorneys also have extensive trial and litigation experience before local, state and federal courts, labor arbitrators, and administrative agencies, including the Utah Labor Commission, the EEOC, the Department of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board. With years of experience in employment law, Strong & Hanni is able to assess and determine whether litigation or alternative means of resolution would be the best solution for clients.
