Employment law includes statutes, regulations, precedents, and other law that control how employers should treat employees, former employees and applicants for employment. Employment law prohibits discrimination in employment (hiring, firing, promotions, discipline, compensation, and other aspects of employment) based on age, race, sex, pregnancy, religion, national origin, and disability status, as well as other possible protected categories.

Employment law also encompasses non-competes, severance agreements and contracts.

The employment lawyers at Davidson & Kitzmann are proud to represent individuals in a full range of employment disputes. We represent an array of clients, including executives, physicians and other healthcare professionals, managers, skilled trades workers, manufacturing, retail, clerical, and service workers, and part-time and entry-level workers. 

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment can cause severe stress, and destroy one’s ability to work and thrive in the workplace. Our employment lawyers are committed to providing the highest quality client service and legal representation, in a sensitive and caring manner, for all victims of sexual harassment.

Discrimination

Employment discrimination involves the different treatment of employees based on age, race, sex, gender, pregnancy, national origin, religion or other protected classes under federal law. We are dedicated to helping victims of discrimination protect their rights and collect proper compensation for discrimination committed by an employer. If you believe that you have been treated unfairly because of your status as a protected class member, you should seek legal advice from a skilled Virginia employment lawyer.
