"I am reminded of many canoe trips I have taken
in my lifetime. Those who start down a water course may be strangers
at the beginning, but almost invariably are close friends in the end.
There were strong headwinds to overcome; there were many rainy days
as well as sun-drenched days to travel. … The greatest such journey
I have made has been with you, my brethren, who were strangers at the
start but warm and fast friends at the end."
-Justice William O. Douglas |
Our
Philosophy
Ms. Van Moppes’s philosophy
is to maintain personal contact with her clients to better understand
their business needs and help them achieve their goals.
Through this hands-on approach, Ms. Van Moppes works to earn clients’
trust and confidence, acting as a preventative resource in the navigation
of the multitude of issues that arise in managing employees and the
workplace.
How
We Help You Reach Your Goals
Ms. Van Moppes's services are especially appropriate for those businesses
whose “Human Resource Department” is made up by managers
with little HR experience, who find themselves wearing multiple hats
at the workplace and know that workplace issues are numerous, time consuming,
complicated and detract from their productivity.
We partner with employers to provide:
• Counsel on questions related to employee management and workplace
law
• Advice on complicated situations such as complaint investigations,
administrative charges, demand letters, wage and hour audits, and the
like
• Tailored training sessions on harassment, diversity, and sensitivity
• Customized employment handbooks and policies in keeping with
our clients’ business culture and needs while ensuring each of
them the maximum potential defense to legal claims
• Employment agreements, non-disclosure agreements, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements which protect our clients' businesses
Should the need arise, we prepare charge and demand letter responses,
negotiate with opposing counsel and administrative agencies, and guide
clients through alternative dispute resolution processes, or vehemently
defend our clients’ business. |
