About Scott
& Whitehead
The
law firm of Scott and Whitehead specializes in labor and employment
law, counseling and litigation. Founded
in 1993, the firm is committed to excellence in representing employers.
Our lawyers, who have
had distinguished careers with prominent national labor and employment
law firms, pride themselves on having
exceptional analytical skills and judgment, excellent oral and
written expression and keen business sense.
The firm's labor
and employment law practice covers a broad spectrum of the
field. Our lawyers have extensive experience defending
employers against wrongful termination and related claims in
state and federal
courts, as well as counseling management regarding preventive
policies and practices. We defend businesses in employment
discrimination and sexual harassment claims, as well as before
the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, and other state and local fair employment
agencies. We counsel management with regard to labor disputes,
union organizing drives, arbitrations, and labor litigation
matters under the National Labor Relations Act. We also advise
management
regarding the development and implementation of employee handbooks,
personnel policies and safety manuals, and regarding compliance
with state and federal wage and hour laws.
The firm represents
employers in a wide array of private sector industries as well
as in the public sector. The firm’s private
sector clients range from national corporations, to medium-sized
California businesses, to local proprietorships. The firm’s
public sector clients include school districts, sanitation
districts, and cities. Because we understand that each employer
faces unique
problems, our attorneys become thoroughly familiar with the
business issues facing each of our clients and provide advice
that is both
practical and responsive.
