Employment Litigation
Arnold & Clifford LLP is a Columbus, Ohio. law firm that also serves the Cleveland, Cincinnati and Dayton areas. We focus on trial practice for both individuals and corporate clients, in both state and federal courts, including employment litigation.
Our attorneys deal with every type of workplace litigation, including personnel complaints, class actions, merger and acquisition consequences, labor cost reductions, wrongful discharge suits based on any protected class (age, race, sex, religion, disability, military service, sexual orientation, whistleblowing and others), OSHA, wage and overtime disputes, privacy claims, health care cost reductions and trade secrets/noncompete litigation. We have also handled Section 1983 claims filed against public entities. We have handled cases in Columbus, throughout the state of Ohio and across the country.
Whether the matter involves a claim for discrimination or mistreatment, the misappropriation of trade secrets by a former employee, or anything in between, the attorneys at Arnold & Clifford LLP, are well-versed in such claims.
Executive Compensation Cases And Clawback Provisions
Our firm also handles litigation involving executive compensation. Many recent executive compensation cases involve “clawback” provisions, where an organization is fighting to claw back bonuses, stock options, and other compensation that its executives received once additional facts have come to light, such as an accounting restatement or losses from bad trades.
Based on recent trends (such as Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank law), we expect clawback provisions to be increasingly written into employment contracts, and for additional litigation to result. If you need the legal advice and representation of a skilled employment litigation attorney, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our firm.
