Employment Law

Garfield & Hecht is uniquely situated to represents small and large employers with their litigation and transactional employment needs.  Our litigation team has a wide array of experience defending employers against allegations ranging from wrongful termination based upon discrimination, harassment, and retaliation to wage and overtime violations and unemployment insurance appeals.   While our transactional team routinely drafts employment and non-compete, nondisclosure and trade secret agreement, our litigation team has successfully prosecuted claims for violations of these agreements.  We have also successfully counseled and guided a large organization through the implementation of a reduction in work force of more than 40 employees without a single wrongful termination lawsuit and counseled numerous organizations concerning termination of employment issues and Colorado Department of Labor and Employment audits.
