- Transactional work, before the courtroom door.
We do not litigate. Our work happens at every stage that comes before. Drafting the policies that prevent disputes, responding to agency charges, handling separations cleanly, building the documentation that protects your business.
If a matter does need to go to court, we will refer you to the right resource. Everything else, the policy reviews, the investigations, the agency responses, the bargaining tables, the bylaws, that is where we work.
- The full workforce law practice.
Eight areas, organized across the three pillars of the firm: employment, labor, and corporate. Each one is something we have handled hundreds of times across Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana, and federal matters nationwide.
- Employment Law
The day-to-day work of running a compliant, well-documented workforce. Policies that hold up, investigations that get to the truth, agency responses that resolve matters quickly, and separations that close cleanly.
01
Employment Policies & Compliance
Strong policy work prevents most problems before they start. We draft the documents your workforce runs on, review the ones you already have, and audit your practices against the federal and state laws that apply to your business.
What This Includes
- Employee handbook drafting and review
- Anti-harassment, non-discrimination, and drug-free workplace policies
- FMLA, ADA, and FLSA compliance
- Wage and hour compliance audits
- Non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements
- Employment contract drafting and enforcement
- Garnishment guidance
02
Workplace Investigations
When a complaint comes in, the response matters. We conduct thorough, on-site investigations that get to the facts quickly and give you clear, defensible findings. Done well, an investigation can stop a complaint from ever leaving the building.
What This Includes
- Discrimination, harassment, and retaliation investigations
- On-site employee and witness interviews
- Written findings and recommendations
- Guidance on corrective action and next steps
03
Agency Investigations & Audits
Agency action does not have to become a lawsuit. We represent employers responding to charges, complaints, and audits at every major state and federal level, building the record and the response that resolves matters before they escalate.
What This Includes
- EEOC complaint responses
- Kansas Human Rights Commission (KHRC) responses
- Department of Labor wage and hour audits
- OSHA inquiries and inspections
- NLRB matters and unfair labor practice charges
04
Separation Agreements & Terminations
Most workforce lawsuits start at the exit. We help you handle terminations, restructurings, and layoffs cleanly, with the agreements and documentation that protect the business and close the matter for good.
What This Includes
- Separation agreement drafting and enforcement
- Severance package development
- Layoff and reduction in force (RIF) counseling
- Discipline and termination process guidance
- Documentation review and risk assessment
- Most workforce lawsuits start at the exit. Our job is to make sure yours does not.

For employers facing union matters, unemployment claims, or labor compliance questions. Steady representation at the table and on the record, with attention to the long-term relationships behind every matter.
05
Unemployment Hearings & Mediation
We represent employers at unemployment hearings and in mediation and arbitration. The record built at the hearing stage matters far beyond the immediate claim, and we approach it with that in mind.
What This Includes
- Unemployment claim responses
- Unemployment hearing representation
- Mediation and arbitration counsel
- Alternative dispute resolution strategy
06
Labor Relations & Bargaining
For employers with union workforces or labor compliance questions, we provide day-to-day counsel and bargaining table support. Steady, experienced representation when the stakes are high and the relationships are long-term.

- Grievance handling and resolution
- Collective bargaining preparation and negotiation
- Labor law compliance counsel
- NLRB matters and unfair labor practice defense

The business behind the workforce. Governance documents, board counsel, executive agreements, and training programs that keep your company and its people on solid legal ground.
07

The legal infrastructure of your company. We advise on the documents and decisions that shape how the business runs, from the boardroom to the executive offices, with attention to the legal exposure each one carries.
What This Includes
- Corporate bylaws drafting and review
- Board of directors governance counsel
- Regulatory compliance programs
- Executive employment and compensation agreements
