About
Between them, Mitchell & Sheahan, P.C.’s two principals have over a half century of experience in employment law, labor relations matters, general litigation and trial practice. We offer representation in all of these areas to businesses, public entities and individual clients.
To small and medium-sized businesses, as well as public entities, we offer affordable labor and employment law representation. Workplace issues are often left unaddressed in smaller companies for budgetary reasons. However, the regulation of employment relationships by legislation and court-made law has been growing steadily for decades with no end in sight. Just as labor costs are generally among a business's or municipality’s largest expenses, liabilities arising from noncompliance with labor and employment laws are among its most significant risks. Mitchell & Sheahan provides comprehensive, practical guidance on managing these issues with a close eye on how best and most economically to utilize the employer’s available resources. Conducting internal harassment or disciplinary investigations, responding to employee workplace misconduct complaints, answering and defending against discrimination or illegal pay practice allegations and addressing the myriad of issues that arise in trying to maintain a union-free environment or in dealing with a union- organized labor force are all examples of the kinds of services that our principals have provided to businesses and public entities throughout their careers.
For individuals, we have a depth of practical experience and a breadth of legal knowledge that enables Mitchell & Sheahan to provide valuable advice on issues arising before, during and after an employment relationship. Initial hire agreements, severance packages and interim employment contract modifications are all matters that we have repeatedly addressed in the past. We are dedicated to insuring that our individual clients’ workplace rights are honored and protected at every stage of their working lives and we are prepared to advise them about addressing sex harassment, illegal pay practice, illegal discrimination or other employment questions.
Litigation requires skilled advocacy that goes beyond just knowing why the client’s position is right to knowing how to make a judge or jury see that, too. Mitchell & Sheahan, P.C. offers litigants this capability. Its principals’ extensive experience includes a wide variety of civil litigations in many different tribunals, always conducted with the art of persuasion in mind. For our employer and employee clients, the general public and small non-trial law oriented law firms, we offer litigation and courtroom trial services in the labor, employment, commercial and other general civil fields.
