Employment Law

Hamilton and Faatz counsels and represents employers in every phase of employment law. Our attorneys have vast experience and regularly play a hands-on role in counseling businesses and public employees on the full range of issues which may arise in the workplace. Our primary goal is to provide accurate and practical advice that will enable our clients to accomplish goals while minimizing the risk of expensive and potentially high-exposure litigation. If litigation is necessary, our firm provides cost-effective and result-orientated representation.

Many employment-related problems arise suddenly. We pride ourselves in our responsiveness to our clients' needs and our ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently, many times with just one quick telephone call.

We provide preventive advice and counsel to our employer clients to guide them through the maze of federal and state personnel laws in the following areas:

• Employment handbooks and policies

• Employment discrimination and sexual harassment 

• The hiring process

• Compensation and employment agreements

• Employee discipline and discharge

• Organizational restructuring and reductions in force

• Employment-at-will and independent contractor issues

• Drug and alcohol testing

• Wage and hour law

• Covenants not to compete, non-disclosure and trade secrets agreements

• Employee pensions and benefits

We can provide training to management to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Fair Labor Standards Act and the Colorado Unfair Labor Practices and Wage Claim Act.

If litigation does arise, we provide cost-effective and aggressive representation. Our attorneys have significant experience in the entire range of employment litigation matters, including representation of both employers and employees before agencies, use of mediation or other alternative dispute services and litigation in both state and federal courts. Some of our more frequent representations involve the defense of individual employment discrimination suits based on disability, race, religion, age, national origin, retaliation, gender, and sexual harassment.
