Connor Curtis is a trial lawyer who counsels and represents employers and management exclusively in all areas of labor and employment law, including litigation before state and federal courts, arbitration panels, and regulatory and administrative agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Connor’s litigation practice involves assisting clients in resolving a broad range of disputes arising from the employer-employee relationship, including claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the National Labor Relations Act. As part of her counseling practice, she regularly advises clients on best practices for avoiding litigation and for complying with a myriad of state and federal laws, including those concerning wage and hour issues, anti-discrimination and anti-harassment, interviewing and hiring, discipline and discharge, approved leave, proper classification of workers, disability and religious accommodations, employee handbook policies, drug and alcohol testing, restrictive covenants, and workplace investigations.
