Large corporations look to Helen’s experience handling discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims before local, state and federal administrative agencies, including the EEOC and the Florida Commission on Human Relations. When a complaint can be resolved favorably before a suit is filed, she steers negotiations with employers’ operational and reputational goals in mind. She also guides employers through each stage of litigation on claims involving:
- Family and medical leave
- Union-management relations
- Wage and hour issues
- Workplace misconduct
- Wrongful termination
