Wrongful Termination
Employment Discrimination
Employment Contract
Morgan, involved a dispute between an employee and its employer. After the employee filed suit in federal court, the employer sought to compel arbitration pursuant to the dispute resolution provision in the employment agreement. However, the employer did not move to compel arbitration until almost eight months after the lawsuit was filed, during which time the employer had filed various pre-trial motions, an answer, and engaged in scheduling discussions concerning the litigation. The employee argued that the employer could not enforce the arbitration provision, and that it had waived the right to arbitrate the dispute “by litigating for so long.”

Construction Litigation
Arbitration is a very common method of alternate dispute resolution. Parties to a construction contract often agree to participate in binding arbitration for a variety of reasons, including to streamline resolution of the dispute, and have the matter heard by a person or person(s) with construction industry experience. But what happens if a party, who previously agreed to arbitration, instead files a lawsuit?

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
From litigation, to telecommunications applications, to business, corporate and estate planning, our attorneys are highly qualified to provide a wide range of legal services for our agriculturally based clients.
Trusts
Our attorneys represent Personal Representatives and Trustees throughout the administration process, with a goal of helping our clients navigate efficiently through the process, and to reduce anxiety and uncertainty in a difficult time. We work closely with both individual and corporate trustees in all aspects of the administration process, including probate and trust administration, assistance with federal estate tax returns and state inheritance tax returns, funding trusts and the distribution of assets to beneficiaries and heirs. In addition, our firm’s litigation attorneys can assist in the representation of Personal Representatives and Trustees in estate and trust litigation matters and the efficient resolution of such disputes.

We also assist our clients in use of powers of attorney to allow for management of assets and making of health care related decisions during lifetime.
Probate

Bankruptcy
Members of the Firm have served as officers and on committees of the Bar Association Sections concerned with bankruptcy law. Members are also involved in planning and participating in bankruptcy law seminars.
Foreclosure
Morgan decision, it is unclear whether initiating a lien foreclosure action could be considered “acting inconsistently with the right” to arbitrate, even when there is no prejudice to the other party. Similar concerns arise in the context of a statutory bond claim. Accordingly, moving forward we recommend that contractors include specific carve out language in their contract documents to (1) clarify that nothing contained in the arbitration provision should be construed to limit any lien rights or statutory bond claim, unless otherwise expressly waived and (2) expressly allow the contractor to commence a civil action to preserve its statutory rights, before staying such action in favor of arbitration.
Tax Law
We help clients resolve the most complex tax issues arising from their transactions, controversies, and regular business operations. Our tax lawyers offer clients deep knowledge, sound practical judgment, and the highest ethical standards. We also draw on the experience of the firm’s corporate and real estate attorneys to provide clients with favorable tax outcomes.
