Employment Law

Minnesota Employment Law Attorneys

Many employment law firms concentrate on litigation. While Thomsen & Nybeck has a track record of success in employment law cases, our lawyers also do a lot of advising about how to avoid litigation. For example, we counsel employers on how to draft an effective noncompete agreement. Many of the agreements that end up in court were not drafted properly. We also advise employees of their obligations under such an agreement if they are planning to leave their employer.

From our offices in Edina, Minnesota, our lawyers have represented employers and employees in connection with a wide variety of employment-related legal issues, including:

  • Employment contracts and compensation
  • Protection of trade secrets and other proprietary information
  • Drafting of covenants not to compete
  • Drafting employee policy booklets
  • Discrimination claims, including sex, race, age, gender, disability, national origin and others
  • Sexual harassment claims
  • Employee benefit plans, including pension, medical, life, disability and other plans covered by ERISA
  • Family and Medical Leave issues
  • Employee discipline
  • Termination and severance pay
  • Independent contractor issues

Our lawyers have experience in drafting independent contractor agreements, procedures and protocols that structure the employment relationship so that all sides are protected. We have experience creating management structures for independent contractors to conform with Minnesota and federal laws.
