Workplace Conflicts  Interpersonal Conflict  Employment Termination  Intellectual Property and Covenants Not to Compete  Discrimination  Sexual Harassment In today's fast-paced economy, people-to-people relationships are changing almost as fast as information technology. The emphasis on teamwork, flexibility and diversity have weakened traditional gender roles and barriers between bosses and subordinates. Even the most able people have unequal people skills, and unlawful discrimination remains a fact of life. Mix in a steady stream of new legislation, such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Americans With Disabilities Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act, and it's no wonder that labor-and-employment law is one of the fastest growing legal specialties in America. Labor and employment cases each depend on their own facts and usually come heavy laden with emotion. So they can be extremely expensive and time consuming to litigate. And while the aggrieved worker's supervisors collect their data, and his colleagues prepare to testify for one side or the other, the workplace can be completely disrupted. Many of the cases making up the current explosion in workplace charges and lawsuits actually signify other kinds of problems. Taking them to an independent, off-site mediator can lay the foundation for lasting solutions which over time produce a happier, more efficient work environment. NewSouth's principal, Robert Wildau, has advised employers and employees at the front end in negotiating contracts and covenants not to compete, and represented them in court when breaches occurred. As a mediator he has successfully resolved discrimination complaints in both the public and private sectors. His knowledge of state and federal employment law and ability to earn the trust of parties who fiercely distrust each other contributes to NewSouth's growing reputation in the field.
