Preparation and Prevention

Alexander & Watson collaborates with our employer-clients to minimize the risk of litigation by current or former employees as well as effectively defending current claims.  Our legal services stretch far beyond courtroom representation. Our firm begins with an analysis of current personnel policies and practices. Our objective is to ensure that your organization develops and implements policies and procedures that focuses on the avoidance of potential future workers’ compensation claims and/or other employment related issues.

Whether your organization is new or well established, you may still benefit from a review of your personnel handbooks and manuals. We assist well established businesses by updating employee handbooks and manuals. We partner with newly established businesses to ensure that they take the necessary steps to start on the road to an efficient and trouble-free human resource management with well-structured training for supervisory staff.

Cost-Effective Solutions
Some Federal and state employment laws may preempt/usurp other worker compensation laws – often with contradictory results.  This may complicate an employer’s ability to develop appropriate and cost-effective polices and procedures that comply with all laws and regulations.  Alexander & Watson has the knowledge and resources to help employers develop a comprehensive set of employment and worker compensation policies that comply with both federal and state law.  For example, we will partner with you to develop or revise your company’s employee handbooks and manuals.  We will also help train your staff on various legal issues involved in managing employees.  Additionally, we offer the following workshops for staff:
