The E&U Approach To Service: Client-Focused And Detail-Oriented

The members of our legal team are experienced in providing high-quality legal services in their areas of focus. Our primary areas of practice at E&U include:

• Employment Law. We work with employers and employees to help them manage and address challenges, from contract negotiations to disputes regarding rights and obligations in the workplace, creatively and persistently. We are adept at handling training, investigations and workplace policy development and management. When proactive planning does not achieve optimal results, we are strong advocates supporting our clients in employment litigation.

Tools utilized include wills, trusts and other transfer techniques. Our practice also includes planning for elder care, administering trusts and probate representation, including counsel for contested matters.
• Business And Corporate Law. We help businesses get started, grow, acquire, merge and transition to the next generation as well as implement strategies to help the bottom line and avoid disputes. From start-up to maturity, we work with clients in structuring contractual relationships and agreements to facilitate efficiencies in their product and service delivery.
• Early Childhood Education And School Law. We provide assistance to those engaged in this important work and have done so for many years. We help educators and schools with a variety of legal matters, including getting started, dealing with parents and government agencies, leasing or selling property, training staff and more.
