  Our experienced lawyers can help you. Contact us to discuss your needs if you think you have not been appropriately paid for your work, are concerned about your pension’s security, or need assistance with employment agreements.
• Employment Litigation
  Our founding partners, Bob Sugarman and Howard Susskind, have been working together for more than 40 years practicing labor, employment, pension, and employee benefits law. Together they have developed expertise in all aspects of labor law and wage and hour law, including representing workers in employment litigation. They have been practicing pension and employee benefits law for as long as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) has been in existence. Our firm now includes eight attorneys who bring to the firm valuable experience gained at the U.S. Department of Labor, the City of Miami Police Department, the Coast Guard, and in private practice. Each of our attorneys has extensive experience in labor, employment, and employee benefits law, such as the fiduciary obligations under ERISA and the Florida Protection of Public Employee Retirement Benefits Act, employee rights, Florida public pension plan governance requirements, worker classification under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employment litigation, and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Florida Public Employee Relations Act.
• Non-compete Agreement
  We represent individual workers asserting claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for minimum wages and appropriate overtime compensation, including workers who have been misclassified by their employers as salaried rather than hourly workers. We have successfully negotiated severance packages and counseled workers on confidentiality and non-compete agreements. We are also available to advise workers who participate in pension benefit plans and have not received their promised benefits, or who have concerns regarding the management of pension plan assets.
• Severance Agreement
  Our firm is built on our commitment to assisting workers. Contact us today if you are a worker with a wage or pension benefits claim or need assistance with employment and severance agreements. Fill out our online intake form or call us at 800-329-2122 to schedule your consultation.
