Our Business: Protecting Your Business
Attracting and retaining the best talent while also protecting your business is becoming more complex. Changing federal, state, or local laws requires a legal team to keep up to date and to be thorough, and strategic.

Our attorneys provide advice and counsel relating to all aspects of the employment relationship, including:
- Employment policies and agreements
- Medical and other leaves
- Wrongful termination
- Wage and hour
- Whistleblower and other retaliatory discharge claims
- Restrictive covenants
- Trade secret and confidentiality agreements
- Workforce management
- Workforce reductions and separation agreements
We regularly represent companies before federal and state administrative agencies, such as the Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as state and federal courts on these matters.

Employers can turn to Moye White’s Employment team for thorough investigation and representation through discrimination disputes. Our attorneys have defended clients against discrimination claims including race, color, age, religion, national origin, gender,pregnancy, gender identity, sexual orientation, and mental and physical disability.
