EMPLOYMENT LITIGATION, INCLUDING CLASS & COLLECTIVE ACTIONS

The increasing number of state and federal laws protecting employees in the workplace has resulted in an increased number of employment-related lawsuits in both state and federal courts. Our group of experienced and successful labor and employment attorneys handles every type of employment litigation, in state and federal courts throughout Florida and around the country.

Liebler, Gonzalez & Portuondo’s Labor and Employment attorneys have extensive experience defending class and collective actions. Our attorneys have handled a broad range of class-type cases for our clients, including:

  • Large, nationwide classes
  • Statewide classes
  • Smaller, more modest classes.

When faced with a class or collective action, our Labor and Employment Group attorneys are ready and experienced. We have the foresight to oppose class-action certification at the early stages of litigation. Our attorneys have successfully thwarted efforts by employee-side attorneys who unethically solicit potential class members on a nationwide basis.

We have worked with our clients on a variety of litigation matters including:

  • Accessibility and public accommodation (Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA))
  • Administrative Proceedings
  • Age Discrimination and Employment Act (ADEA)
