Navigating Labor Laws

Our employment attorneys at the Cueto Law Group exceed client expectations. Not only do we help clients navigate complicated labor and employment laws that govern today’s workplace, but we also handle all facets of labor and employment law, from complex jury trials to periodic workplace compliance issues.

Dispute Resolution

We have experience resolving disputes in myriad settings, including arbitration, mediation, proceedings by the EEOC, proceedings in the Florida Commission on Human Relations, and general court proceedings.

Crisis Management

We also pride ourselves in handling crisis situations that may result from workplace issues, such as obtaining orders restraining potentially dangerous employees, obtaining court orders prohibiting employees from stealing the company’s intellectual property, obtaining orders requiring the return of electronic data and other information owned by the company, removing problem employees (and even owners) from the workplace, unfairly competing with other companies, and unfairly disclosing confidential information.
