Our attorneys give you the guidance you need

Our lawyers know that if you or your business are in the midst of a discrimination complaint, employment dispute, or litigation, all other business can come to a halt. Dealing with a lawsuit eats up valuable time, money, and resources that could be used elsewhere to further your goals. Just as important, it can damage your reputation in the community and have a negative impact on your bottom line. That is where our New York employment law attorneys come to your aid. Our experienced trial attorneys have successfully handled hundreds of courtroom cases, so you know that we have what it takes to win. We also provide assistance for legal issues involving the various types of discrimination claims, including: race, religion, gender, age, and disability.

Furthermore, if you have been fortunate enough to avoid employment discrimination lawsuits, our New York employment law lawyers can show you how to continue doing so. Rapid changes in employment law mean that you need to be constantly on the lookout for discriminatory practices in your organization, or even the appearance of them. Our staff can demonstrate how to promote workplace fairness in practices such as hiring, promotions, vacation time, severance pay, and termination.

Employment lawyers that you can count on

Whether leading the way in the negotiation of executive compensation, complex employment and business-related litigation, sensitive internal investigations, government and agency investigation or prosecution of work-related matters, our law firm is dedicated to delivering maximum results.

Why you need to know about employment laws

New York employment laws are heavily weighted toward protecting employees. They seek to prevent businesses from performing illegal and discriminatory practices while penalizing those engaging in such actions. Unfortunately, laws can change rapidly, and well-meaning employers can find themselves the subject of litigation simply because of the appearance of wrongdoing. When that happens, you need to take action fast, safeguarding the well-being and reputation of your business. Whether you believe that you need an update on relevant employment statutes, or are involved in intense litigation, our skilled and protective New York employment attorneys are the answer to your concerns.

The Watanabe Law Firm, LLC prides itself on its record of achievement, and in the abilities, experiences, and professionalism of our attorneys. We invite your inquiry into any of the services of our law firm. While our office is in New York City, we provide legal guidance to clients throughout New York, the United States, and the world where individuals or employers have issues or questions concerning United States employment laws.
