Employment Law

South Carolina • Georgia Attorneys serving the Bluffton, Beaufort, Hilton Head Island and Savannah areas.

Both Federal and State statutes govern a wide scope of issues in the workplace and comprise the basis for the body of law referred to as employment law. In broad terms employment law addresses the obligations and rights of both employers and employees. It is a constantly changing and emerging area of law with pitfalls for both employers and employees.

Specific areas with which employment law deals include discrimination of every sort from age, race, gender to religion and national origin, as well as sexual harassment, retaliation, hostile work environment and disputes between employers and employees, involving wage and hour irregularities, wrongful termination, employment contracts, employee benefits and civil rights.

At the Law Office of Susan L. Brach, LLC, we represent privately held businesses, individuals, corporations, government entities and commercial organizations on employee relations counseling, tort claims and liability lawsuits.

Our law firm focuses minimizing our clients’ exposure to legal liability, while helping them build successful relations with employees. Counseling and human resources support are key aspects of our firm’s employment law practice. Ms. Brach assists businesses in developing sound employee policies and counseling in all aspects of the employment relationship, including EEOC policy review and implementation, affirmative action issues, reductions in the workforce, wage and hour disputes, managing difficult employees and compliance with employment laws (FLSA, Title VII, ADEA, ADA, FMLA, 1983, 1981, Whistle Blower, EPA, Wage and Hour and FCRA).

From the perspective of two decades of experience Susan Brach is adept at coaching clients on how to avoid complicated and disruptive claims. When tort claims do arise, we emphasize the use of summary judgment proceedings or mediation for early and cost effective resolution.
