What Is Employment Law?
Employment law encompasses a range of legal issues relating to the relationship between employers and employees. This area of law is designed to provide workers with fair treatment, protect them from wrongful practices, and ensure a safe and equitable workplace. It covers a variety of statutes and regulations that govern how employers must treat their employees, both at the federal and state levels.

If you’ve been discriminated against based on race, gender, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic, our skilled employment attorneys are here to assist you.
- Employment Agreements: It’s crucial to ensure that employment agreements are fair and legally binding. If you’re about to sign an employment contract or have been accused of breaching one, Herman Law Group can provide expert legal advice and representation.
- Hostile Work Environment: No one should feel unsafe or threatened at work. If you are in a hostile work environment because of the actions of employers or colleagues, we can help you seek justice and compensation.
- Worker Retaliation: Retaliation for reporting illegal activities or policy violations is illegal. If you’ve been punished for whistleblowing, our attorneys can support you in filing a retaliation claim.
- Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment in the workplace is intolerable. Herman Law Group stands ready to support victims of such misconduct, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.
