Reliable Advice for Employers and Employees 

The attorneys of the Heritage Law Group advise our clients about the complex legal issues that lie within the employer-employee relationship. While our main objective is to advise employers about the best ways to avoid potential workplace liability to employees, we also represent employers and sometimes workers in administrative agency hearings and civil litigation on employment law issues. 

Contact the Heritage Law Group to learn how our experience and insights can benefit you and your company. We offer both comprehensive one-stop counsel on the full range of employment law matters and more focused advice for clients who need help with a particular problem. 

Our law firm’s employment practice covers such issues as the following:

• Advice about problems that can arise at any stage of the employment relationship from recruiting and hiring to suspension or termination
• Training and personnel policy advice on state and federal compliance issues, including California’s requirement that supervisors receive training about sexual harassment

• Investigation and response to complaints of discrimination, wage and hour violations, unsafe working conditions and other workplace disputes
• Advice about family, medical or pregnancy leave
• Workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance issues
