General corporate counseling
As part of our employer counseling services, we review and draft employment contracts, severance agreements, employee policies, employee manuals, and other employment related documents.
Sedita, Campisano & Campisano, also counsels clients who intend to dismiss or discipline employees. Firing practices require particular care and employees merit consideration. We counsel clients to document warnings and to treat everyone in a non-discriminatory manner. We advise business owners of their potential for liability.
In large-scale layoffs, we help clients draft severance packages. Employees usually waive their right to sue the employer to get to the severance package. We focus on the demographics of your company—who has been there the longest, who has seniority, who are the traditional plaintiff groups. We counsel clients to document why a particular group is being laid off rather than another group.
To protect your business from liability, we inform employers of the federal and state laws relating to the hiring, retention, and termination of employees. These laws include:

Insurance coverage
When your business runs the risk of litigation, our skilled trial lawyers take action to protect your company from liability. We contact your insurance company to find out whether your case is covered. More often than not, the insurance company pays lawyer fees and expenses to go after those responsible for litigation. Our goal is to pursue positive outcomes on behalf of our clients.
