Nowhere are societal changes more evident than in the area of employment litigation. Gone are the traditional concepts of respondent superior or master and servant. Today an employer faces a statutoy maze regarding human resources. Often employment litigation becomes time and contract sensitive regarding statutory deadlines, contractual deadlines or arbitration, as well as choice of law and forum issues.
Our experience and interest lie in the area of litigation and trial practice. We have found that wereas substantive law can be understood through study, the law of evidence and procedure and the art of advocacy can only be mastered through years of continual practice. In essence, litigation and advocacy are an art form... a forensic art.
