Employment Litigation

Employment Attorneys, Austin, Texas

The employment litigation attorneys at Taylor Dunham have successfully represented both employers and employees in cases involving employment contracts, non-compete agreements, wrongful termination, stock options, employment discrimination and other matters in state and federal courts.

Austin, Texas Breach of Employment Contract Attorneys

Breach of employment contracts, both oral and written, is a frequent source of employment litigation.  There may be a dispute as to whether such a contract even existed.  The dispute may be about whether particular actions by one of the parties constituted a breach or repudiation of the employment contract.  Frequently the alleged breach of the employment contract is based upon the employer’s termination of the employment, so the dispute focuses on whether “good cause” existed for the termination.

Austin, Texas Breach of Non-Compete Agreements Attorneys

Non-compete agreements are another common basis for employment litigation.  The length, scope and geographic limitations of non-compete agreements lead to disputes in the attempted enforcement of the non compete agreement by the employer.  The employment litigation attorneys at Taylor Dunham have extensive experience in enforcing and busting non compete agreements in various industries.

Austin, Texas Employment Discrimination Attorneys

Discrimination in the hiring, treatment and termination of an employee or prospective employee is another common area of employment litigation.  Legal duties of the employer and civil rights of the employee are governed by federal and state law.  Employment discrimination is a particularly complex area of law.  In the case of alleged institutional discrimination by large employers, these cases are often handled as class action lawsuits.  Taylor Dunham’s employment litigation attorneys have the experience and resources to prosecute or defend any employment discrimination case, no matter how complex.
