Even companies with the best employment policies and procedures can face lawsuits. Working with GHU can help minimize the expense and disruption of employment disputes. GHU’s expertise and substantial experience at the state and federal level benefits our clients in the effective defense or prosecution of complex employment relationships, claims and disputes arising under Title VII, ADA, ADEA, FMLA, and analogous provisions of state law. GHU has prosecuted claims brought by companies seeking to enjoin employees that have breached employment agreements, restrictive covenants, and fiduciary duties. GHU works with clients of all sizes and levels of sophistication, from large, multi-state corporations to small, family-owned businesses.

Intellectual property involves much more than the filing of patents. It involves the protection of clients’ trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets that are the subject of many of our clients’ business transactions. GHU ensures that our clients’ intellectual property is protected in each of its dealings. GHU files for trademark protection aggressively and defends any misappropriation of trade secret or other intellectual property.
