The modern workplace is a complex legal environment, subject to myriad state and federal rules and regulations, including anti-discrimination statutes, wage and hour laws, and employee/independent contractor determinations. B&M has developed a distinct expertise in this field, representing both employers and employees in a variety of workplace disputes. Having represented both sides in these disputes, B&M attorneys are able to anticipate their opposition's arguments more effectively than their counterparts at management-side only firms.

B&M has a strong record of success initiating and defending claims for discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage and hour violations and payment of unemployment benefits both in state and federal court, before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, and before other state and federal agencies. We also have extensive experience litigating workplace contract disputes and tort claims. B&M works closely with companies to ensure the security of their proprietary information and customer relationships through the crafting of well-tailored non-compete and non-disclosure contracts, trade secret litigation, and the aggressive enforcement of covenants not to compete. B&M assists with internal company investigations of employee complaints and also works with employers to develop personnel policies and procedures that reduce the risk of future litigation. We are also available for human resources counseling to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B&M has expertise in the following areas of employment litigation:
