Starr, Gern, Davison & Rubin, P.C., counsels employers in all aspects of employment law. Our New Jersey lawyers assist in the development of employee handbooks and policies.

Examples of Our Clients and Cases in Employment Matters
Our lawyers represent clients in federal, state and agency litigation and mediation for claims of wrongful discharge, breach of employment contracts, restrictive covenants and trade secrets, wage claims, and alleged wrongful termination, discrimination and retaliation. We appear in state and federal courts and before agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC.) and the New Jersey Department of Civil Rights (NJDCR). We defend against claims brought under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and other federal and state anti-discrimination and whistle-blower statutes.
SGD&R attorneys prosecute employees and other persons who anonymously post confidential information or defamatory statements on the Internet. For example, we prevailed on behalf of a public bio-pharmaceutical company in the first appellate decision in the nation that establishes the standard for revealing the identity of an anonymous poster.
The law firm represents companies in stock option litigation, recently prevailing for another public company, defeating a $15 million claim for stock options in federal court and on appeal. Our clients also include executives involved in severance pay and employment contract negotiations and disputes.
We also represent labor unions, defending in litigation involving retirement plans, pensions and health benefit plans. We advocate for a variety of labor and corporate clients in collective bargaining, ERISA litigation and contract negotiations.
