- Title VII
- The Family and Medical Leave Act
- The Fair Labor Standards Act
- The Affordable Care Act

We partner with our clients to prepare and review their contracts, personnel policies, and employment procedures, with a strong focus toward preventative measures.
Should the need arise, we also are ready to defend employers in court. Morton & Gettys employment lawyers have litigated numerous complicated cases from trial to appeal, including issues such as employment discrimination and non-compete agreements.
