In human resource management, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  Legal advice on labor and employment law issues should be an integral part of human resource decisionmaking. 

Too often, however, it is only after a charge of discrimination or lawsuit has been filed that management comes to view a human resource matter as involving labor and employment law issues requiring legal services. 

By this time, much preventable damage may have already been done, making it much more costly to deal with the situation.

The attorneys of Harris Dowell Fisher & Harris, L.C. all spend considerable time engaging in the practice of preventive law.  We advise our clients to assist them in making difficult employment decisions in ways that manage legal risk while achieving business objectives.

We do not view providing such client counseling and advice as a sideline or distraction.  To the contrary, we believe it is often the most important and valuable work we do.  We give it the priority it deserves, understanding that employment situations often require prompt and well-informed response, analysis, advice, and action.

Contact us to discuss how we may best assist you in this regard.
