Employment Law
Kohnen & Patton attorneys provide a wide range of employment
law services to individuals and employer organizations, ranging
from small corporations with relatively few employees to
large public and private companies with hundreds of employees.
We handle all types of employment litigation, including cases
involving wrongful discharge, discrimination, sexual harassment,
the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, trade secrets,
unfair competition, and non-compete agreements. In addition,
we regularly consult with our corporate and business clients
on employment matters and assist in implementing preventive
measures designed to avoid litigation with employees. We
also represent individual employees in employment matters
on a selective basis, including negotiation of severance
arrangements and employment litigation.
Our employment law services include:
- Consultation on employee or personnel matters, including termination issues, hiring issues,
benefits, non-compete agreements, severance packages, and labor relations issues;
- Drafting and implementation of employee handbooks and personnel policy manuals;
- Representation before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Ohio Civil Rights
Commission, and Kentucky Commission on Human Rights with respect to charges of
discrimination;
- Representation in state and federal courts throughout southern Ohio, northern Kentucky, and
southern Indiana on employment litigation matters;
- Drafting, negotiation and implementation of employment contracts, non-compete and
confidentiality agreements, severance agreements, trade secret protection programs, and
related employment documents;
