There are numerous reasons businesses and organizations need experienced legal guidance and representation. Personnel issues are one of them. The Pittsburgh employment lawyers at Maiello, Brungo & Maiello provide the necessary expertise employers need across a wide range of areas.

Because of our specialized knowledge, we’re able to assist union companies in the collective bargaining process, which can be highly complex. Pittsburgh employment lawyers work with employers to iron out issues such as working hours, wages, overtime policies, health and safety, grievance processes, training and more.

Another area where legal guidance is necessary is the investigation of discrimination complaints. In any company, these types of complaints can arise regarding age, gender, religion, nationality, disability and for other reasons. In some cases there are federal laws that must be followed in the course of the investigation, and a skilled labor attorney stays abreast of this ever-changing legislation.

Both federal and state laws govern many aspects of wages and benefits, so this is another area where attorneys assist clients when issues arise between employers and employees. Lawyers also are able to make sure companies adhere to numerous wage and benefit regulations.

The Pittsburgh employment lawyers at MBM Law work with both union and non-union enterprises to ensure quality relations between labor and management and to help keep the operation running smoothly.

We also provide counsel to public employers. Our attorneys are aware of every aspect of the laws and regulations affecting employees and employers in this sector including the Public Employee Relations Act and requirements governing police, firefighters, schools and other public entities.

At times, our Labor & Employment Team is asked to perform an audit and analysis of a company’s procedures and personnel policies to ensure they are in line with requirements in these areas.

When serving employers in the ways we’ve discussed here, each of our attorneys is focused on attention to detail and is able to draw upon the bank of knowledge and resources the firm maintains in order to best serve the interests of the client.

The practice of labor and employment law should not be undertaken by those who are not specialists in this discipline. The attorney must be able to keep up with changing regulations and policies at the federal, state and local levels, and he or she must be an outstanding leader and educator, well-versed in this phase of the law.

If your company or entity requires top-level legal representation from skilled Pittsburgh employment lawyers, contact Maiello, Brungo & Maiello at (412) 242-4400. You may also reach us by e-mail.
