McLaughlin counsels clients on all facets of the employment relationship including hiring, discipline and termination, drafting and revising employee handbooks, preventing workplace harassment and investigating/responding to claims of harassment and discrimination, leaves of absence and accommodation issues, and wage and hour laws. She conducts training on harassment prevention, leaves of absence and absence management and other employment matters and is a graduate of the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination Certified Harassment Train-the-Trainer Program. As a result of her substantial experience with the Massachusetts Equal Pay Act, clients concerned about pay equity in the workplace choose to work with McLaughlin to design and implement wage assessments tailored to the client’s workforce size and makeup.

Sweeney represents private and public sector employers in labor and employment matters. His practice includes advising employers on all aspects of the employer-employee relationship, including resolving personnel and disciplinary issues, providing reasonable accommodations and managing leaves of absence, crafting employee handbooks, policies, and employment contracts, and negotiating severance agreements. He also represents employers in labor and employment litigation in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, Department of Labor Relations, and Civil Service Commission. 

The Massachusetts Bankers Association was founded in 1905 with a guiding principle to promote banking within the Commonwealth. A key part of the organization’s mission is to provide members, the public, and the media with up-to-date information relating to the Association and the banking industry.
