Human Resources & Employment Law

Protecting Your Business, Empowering Your Workforce

In today’s litigious environment, a single HR misstep can cost an employer time, reputation, and significant revenue. Lanton Sosa Law stands as the first line of defense for employers. We specialize in preventative counsel designed to stop disputes before they begin and aggressive representation when litigation is unavoidable.

We understand that employment law is not one-size-fits-all. We work closely with business owners and HR directors to identify vulnerabilities in your current processes—from wage and hour practices to harassment training—and fortify them against liability.

Don’t wait for a claim to be filed. Secure your business with our comprehensive Human Resources practice.

Our Capabilities

We provide employers with the legal infrastructure necessary to mitigate risk at every stage of the employment lifecycle:

  • Risk Assessments & Compliance Audits: We proactively review your employee handbooks, internal policies, and hiring practices to identify and seal legal loopholes before they become liabilities.

  • Litigation & Administrative Defense: When disputes arise, we provide aggressive defense against claims of discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and harassment in state and federal courts.

  • Wage & Hour Defense: We protect your bottom line by auditing worker classifications (exempt vs. non-exempt) and independent contractor status to prevent costly wage and hour violations.

  • Termination Strategy & Severance: Terminations are often the trigger for litigation. We guide management through high-risk separations, reductions in force, and the drafting of ironclad severance agreements to ensure a clean break.

  • Restrictive Covenants & Trade Secrets: We draft and enforce rigorous non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements to protect your client lists and intellectual property from departing employees.

  • Workplace Investigations: When sensitive allegations arise, we conduct discreet, thorough internal investigations to establish the facts and recommend a defensible course of action.
