Best Law Firms in Texas for Employment Law - Individuals

The employment law attorneys at Shellist Lazarz Slobin represent employees and executives in employment law matters. We carefully evaluate each case and devote focused attention to every client. Our firm handles high-stakes employment disputes involving CEOs, CFOs, COOs, presidents, vice presidents, and other executives. We help clients address the legal and practical challenges that can arise during employment, including disputes involving compensation, workplace conduct, termination, and restrictive agreements.

We also handle nationwide class actions involving wage and hour disputes and other employment-related claims. Contact our firm to schedule an initial consultation about your potential employment law matter. Whether you are located in Texas or elsewhere in the United States, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your situation and potential legal options.

Discrimination Claims

We represent workers who have experienced race or national origin discrimination, disability discrimination, religious discrimination, gender or sex discrimination, and age discrimination. We also advocate for individuals who have experienced sexual harassment, retaliation for reporting unlawful conduct under a whistleblower law, or reprisal for engaging in protected speech or activity.

We handle claims against private and public employers, from the initial consultation through administrative proceedings and, when appropriate, litigation in state or federal court. We work with clients to pursue available remedies for employment-related harm.

Executive Compensation and Severance Packages

We assist executives and other high-level employees with negotiations and legal disputes involving executive compensation and severance packages. These matters may involve breach of contract claims, retirement benefits, stock options, insurance, deferred compensation, and change-in-control provisions.

We review and help negotiate separation agreements, employment contracts, and deferred compensation plans. We also examine issues involving profit sharing, stock options, health care benefits, pensions, and other forms of compensation. Whether you are leaving a company because of a merger, layoff, change in control, termination, or resignation, we can help you evaluate your rights and options.

Administrative Hearings and Lawsuits

When workplace disputes arise or complaints need to be filed, we represent employees and employers in administrative proceedings before government agencies.

These may include the:

• Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
• Texas Commission on Human Rights
• Civil Service Commission
• United States Department of Labor
• Texas Workforce Commission-Civil Rights Division

When negotiations or administrative proceedings do not resolve a dispute, we represent clients in state and federal courts, including Texas state courts, United States district courts, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

The market for legal services is changing. There is a better way to approach litigation. We formed Weisbart Springer Storm Hatchitt LLP to address this change, and create a law firm model for the next generation of client.

The Firm capitalizes on our founding partners’ collective 70 years of commercial litigation experience at some of the best-known firms in Texas. We focus on high-stakes, complex matters.

We saw the opportunity to take the best aspects of that experience and bring together a team of attorneys who are passionate about the law, who are trial-forged over decades, whose negotiation skills are backed up by significant courtroom victories, and who are committed to the highest standards of service for our clients. We offer the full resources and superior legal talent of a large law firm, but do so in a more efficient and cost-effective way.

We represent plaintiffs and defendants, corporations and individuals, in the most challenging and complex legal disputes. We are always prepared for a contentious battle if necessary to protect a client’s interest, but know that seeking a reasonable resolution outside the courtroom often provides the best way to reduce the burden of legal fees and expenses.

We also recognize the realities of business litigation by our willingness to offer and consider fee arrangements that meet the individual needs of our clients. Our ability to do so is further enhanced by being among the first law firms in the nation to use cutting-edge Caelus technology, which offers a number of advantages for the firm and our clients in managing information, expenses and other aspects of the practice.
