The McCathern Difference

We deal with employment related anti-discrimination matters in innovative ways. Our attorneys provide interpretive guidance and review personnel forms, handbooks, policies, and procedures. We will train supervisors and suggest ways to reduce discrimination charges in litigation. When charges are filed, we are trusted by many of the world’s largest companies and insurance carriers with preparing the employer’s response and handling the matter to conclusion before a judge or jury. We are seasoned trial attorneys with experience in everything from state court and administrative claims to national class actions in the federal court system.

We have the resources to handle virtually any client need that may arise. At some firms, size can be a hindrance to the efficient resolution of conflicts. Not so here. We are accustomed to assembling the right team for the client, and we have a long and proud tradition of experienced staffing. That is why we are trusted panel counsel to the world’s two largest employment professional liability carriers.
