Firm Philosophy: To resolve problems and avoid costly litigation
We stress the importance of resolving employee related problems before they reach litigation, though our aggressive litigation staff is fully prepared to litigate if necessary. Labor-management relations today are characterized by many complexities and potential costs, primarily because recent changes in laws and court decisions have expanded the rights of employees. Regulatory agencies and courts protect these rights on both the local and federal levels, while unions seek to represent employees and press their rights through contractual as well as governmental mechanisms. At the same time, employers are confronted by increasingly complex issues in the workplace. The impact of employee benefit plans, including the cost of health care and fringe benefits, the many implications of substance abuse, as well as the need to provide cost-effective wage and salary administration programs, increase the need for sophisticated counsel with practical experience.
As a result of the increased exposure to liability which employers face, we place the greatest priority on preventive, practical and creative approaches to improved employee relations. If litigation is required or appropriate, we emphasize similar practical and creative, yet aggressive, approaches.
At Laner, Muchin, Dombrow, Becker, Levin and Tominberg, Ltd., we have always emphasized those approaches to problem solving. Our philosophy can be summed up as follows: our chief objective is to work closely with our clients to achieve practical and cost-effective methods to improve their relations with employees. Thus, we are not merely lawyers who provide technical legal answers; we are employee relations experts who use the law and our experience to provide practical advice to the best advantage and the best service possible.
We are gratified by the extraordinarily high level of satisfaction our clients have expressed to us. Nevertheless, we strive continually to provide service that exceeds our clients’ expectations.
