Employment Law

Highly experienced, and with a keen insight into employer/employee relations, Collins & Lacy has effectively handled employment cases before such agencies as the South Carolina Employment Security Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission.  We also routinely represent clients at all levels of State and Federal Court. 

We represent employers, insurance carriers, and self-insured groups in cases involving a number of challenging employment issues, including workplace safety, workers’ compensation, employment discrimination, sexual harassment, at-will employment, and unemployment compensation.

Understanding that effective human resource management is a critical element of the successful business strategy, we work earnestly to keep our clients in compliance with current employment and labor laws, helping them institute handbooks, policies, and procedures to develop effective and productive employer/employee relationships.

Drawing on our knowledge of employment law, we develop and execute proactive strategies to avoid problems before they arise.  However, when the need for litigation arises, we are always in position to take cases to trial, prepared to defend against unfounded claims, or see cases through alternative dispute resolution.  Throughout the process of any litigation, our focus remains on keeping our clients informed and advising them of their best outcome.
