An employment lawyer is responsible for managing legal conflicts between employers and employees. They handle issues ranging from workplace discrimination to wrongful termination. Employment lawyers make sure that (1) all employees are treated in a fair and consistent manner and (2) employers are in compliance with all of the local, state, and federal laws that apply in the modern workplace.
