About the Employment Law Section
The Employment Law Section is a dynamic, committed, collegial group of attorneys who represent plaintiffs in employment related matters. We are committed to protecting and advancing the cause of working men and women across North Carolina. Our sections is intensely active and collaborative. We sponsor an annual CLE that covers basic and more complex issues related to the practice of employment law. We have established a great document bank that allows you to access exemplar complaints, discovery and motions relevant to the full panoply of employment law issues, including federal and race and gender claims.,wage and hour complaints, FMLA, Americans With Disabilities Act Claims, Civil Rights, and ERISA. Our list serve is terrific, active, informed and extremely supportive of new employment law practitioners. Our more experienced members will be able to give you solid, cogent advice on the law, legal strategies, and the practical aspects of litigating employment law cases. We meet at least four times per year around the state to share knowledge, ideas and a bit of perspective about our cases and practices. We also meet more frequently on a regional basis in the Triangle and are always looking for new members to join us!!
