Experienced representation for employers and employees
Egan Law Firm is an employment law firm dedicated exclusively to providing knowledgeable and effective representation in all employment law matters throughout the state of New York. I have been a NY employment lawyer for more than 30 years, concentrating on the workplace legal issues facing both employers and their employees. My work for employers makes me a more effective advocate for employees. My work with employees improves my ability to negotiate on behalf of employers. Working for both employers and employees gives me a comprehensive understanding of workplace issues and problems and the current state of the law respecting them.
Because of my broad focus and experience, I am very familiar with the defenses employers use to avoid liability and explain misconduct. This familiarity can make it easier for me to discuss your complaints with your employer and to determine quickly if there are ways the employer can resolve your problem at work voluntarily.
When possible, I encourage clients to use constructive discussion and negotiation to settle disputes. However, as a seasoned advocate for employees in court and in administrative proceedings, I can fight aggressively for your cause when litigation is the only remaining choice.
In either situation, I am eager to represent you, and I can appear on your behalf at any negotiation or court hearing. I am committed to helping my clients find and implement rational solutions that meet their personal and professional goals.
Also, because of my longstanding reputation for effective advocacy, many of my new cases come to me as referrals. If you are an attorney who is looking to refer an employment law case to a competent and experienced employment discrimination lawyer, please contact me in Manhattan today.
My Practice
I focus my practice on employment law matters, representing employees in cases involving:
- Harassment on the job, from offers of job-related benefits in exchange for sex to the creation of a hostile work environment based on sex, race or other factors
- Workplace discrimination, including unfair or unequal treatment based on race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy or other classification
- Wrongful termination, whether in breach of an employment contract or in violation of the law
- Severance packages
I also provide counsel to employers, by both minimizing exposure to employee lawsuits like these and defending them in such lawsuits.
