Employment & Labor Law
Working Every Possibility
Yes, the nature of litigation is adversarial and costly. Absolutely, our attorneys are zealous advocates for our clients. But, there’s often another less tooth-and-nail way. Schindel Segal Mendoza attorneys are constantly and diligently looking for paths of less resistance and more reward.

Our preventative services range from drafting employee handbooks, non-competition agreements, and employment and separation agreements. In addition, we provide anti-harassment training, investigate allegations of employee misconduct and consult with clients on specific problems.
From hello to goodbye and beyond, we’re there for you. Let us help minimize your exposure so you can maximize what you do best.

- Representing employers in State and Federal court
- Defending discrimination charges brought before the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and other government agencies
- Assisting employers in unemployment insurance matters before the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development

Preventative Services
Many employment law disputes can be avoided by taking appropriate action in advance. Whether it be drafting an employee handbook or employment agreement, investigating allegations of employee misconduct, conducting anti-harassment or other workplace trainings, or providing advice and counsel with regard to tricky employment situations that can arise in any workplace, Schindel Segal Mendoza attorneys have the knowledge, skill and experience to help companies reduce risk and improve their employee relations.
Litigation
Sometimes, even the most well-intentioned employers find themselves in a dispute with a current or former employee. Schindel Segal Mendoz attorneys have extensive experience representing employers in litigation matters in state and federal court, responding to discrimination charges brought before the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, and other government agencies, and assisting employers in unemployment insurance matters.
Executives and Managers
While we primarily represent employers, Schindel Segal Mendoza attorneys regularly assist executives and managers who need help negotiating or understanding an employment or separation agreement or who need advice regarding a non-competition agreement.
