Employment Practices Investigation Unit

 

Complaints related to employment issues are on the rise.

 

RMS can help to mitigate this expense exposure.

 

Because of rising complaints, EPL (Employment Practice Litigation) has attracted many members of the plaintiff bar.  The topic of EPL has become a hot subject on the continuing education circuit.  The popularity goes beyond the increase in cases.  It lies, primarily, in the ability to recover plaintiff attorney fees from the defendants.

 

Typically the cost to defend an EPL matter reaches six figures from a defense standpoint.  Plaintiff attorneys will claim fees and costs in the area of 50-100% higher than their defense counterparts.  The combination of this expense exposure makes involvement in an EPL matter an expensive proposition.

 

When our EPL unit is called in at an early stage of an employment dispute, we attempt to find ways to resolve the problem internally.  Our investigation focuses on a solution to the problem that is practical from a policy, political, and economic standpoint.

 

If you think you have a potential EPL matter affecting employees in your organization, please call RMS for a confidential consultation.
