Spanning a wide range of industries, our clients include the full array of business organizations, from individual entrepreneurs and small businesses to multinational public companies operating in multiple jurisdictions.  We also represent select individuals in connection with employment related grievances.

The Employment Law Practice Group understands that the human capital in your organization is one of your most important assets.  We also appreciate that employment law can be one of the most difficult areas to effectively and efficiently manage in light of rapidly changing laws, expanding arenas of compliance, and the inherently personal nature of the subject matter. Each stage of the employment process, whether hiring or promoting, disciplining or discharging, raises serious legal issues and the potential for costly and distracting litigation. The question is not whether any legal issues will arise – but how to handle them proactively and efficiently in order to maintain a consistent employment strategy and avoid costly litigation.

Hellmuth & Johnson is keenly focused on achieving our clients' human resource objectives while consistently exceeding their expectations. The combination of our passion for excellence, and the inherent flexibility and efficiency of our expanding practice, makes us a contemporary alternative to the traditional “downtown” law firm model. 

What does this mean for our clients?  Our experienced employment law attorneys will work with you to develop and implement responsive, seamless, cost-effective legal strategies to reduce risks and liability.  Let us put our experience to work for you.
