GHU also counsels clients relative to compliance with applicable labor and employment laws and representation in matters involving a broad range of human resource issues.

  • Employment practices audits and reviews

Employment Litigation


Increasingly, businesses are confronted with employment-related claims, including discrimination, retaliation and harassment, due to the combined effects of large jury awards, over-burdened government agencies and new employment laws. While there is little an employer can do to eliminate these factors, there is a great deal it can do to minimize its legal exposure.


Our Labor & Employment Group is lead by Amy Grogan, who has years of experience representing employers in virtually every kind of labor and employment litigation matter. Amy understands that businesses need results and efficiency, and balances an aggressive posture with practical cost-effective strategies.


GHU attorneys have litigated matters in state and federal courts at the trial and appellate levels. We handle matters before administrative agencies and represent employers in private arbitration and mediation. The labor and employment issues we’ve litigated include:

  • Breach of Contract
  • Breach of Loyalty and Fiduciary Duty
  • Compensation Issues and Commission Disputes
  • Confidentiality Agreements
  • Covenants Not to Compete/Non-Solicitation Agreements
