Employment Advice and Representation for Employers and Employees

The attorneys at Press, Potter & Dozier, LLC, offer clear advice to both employers and employees to help navigate the legal issues surrounding employment law. From our office in Bethesda, our lawyers represent franchisees throughout Maryland (including the Baltimore metro area and Western Maryland), Washington, D.C., and Virginia.

The state and federal laws governing the employer-employee relationship are numerous and complex. Our lawyers counsel businesses on such issues as:

  • Hiring employees and retaining consultants
  • Creating compensation and incentive plans to retain valuable employees
  • Protecting trade secrets, confidential customer lists and good will
  • Avoiding discrimination and harassment claims
  • Terminating the employer-employee relationship

We also represent employees in a variety of employment matters, including:

  • Negotiating employment, compensation and consulting agreements
  • Evaluating wrongful termination, discrimination, whistleblowing, retaliation and other unlawful termination claims
  • Obtaining favorable severance agreements and/or separation agreements
  • Understanding your rights and obligations with respect to non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, confidentiality agreements and other employment-related agreements

Our lawyers can also assist parties with employment-related disputes that require alternative dispute resolution.

Attorneys Susan Potter and Jamie Hamelburg have extensive experience negotiating and drafting employment agreements, consulting and independent contractor agreements, non-compete agreements, separation agreements, confidentiality agreements and other contracts dealing with the relationship between employers and employees.

Dan Dozier, former counsel for the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, also has significant employment and labor law experience both as an attorney and as a mediator of workplace disputes.
