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.

O’Connor represents both public and private sector employers in numerous industries on the full range of labor and employment matters. He counsels clients of all sizes in connection with non-competition and other restrictive covenant agreements, trade secret misappropriation, wage and hour disputes (minimum wage, tip disputes, overtime, unpaid wages, misclassification, etc.), hiring, background check compliance, performance management, leaves of absence and reasonable accommodations, terminations, reductions in force, separation and severance agreements, employment policies and handbooks, internal and agency investigations, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge and unfair labor practice charges.
