WHAT WE DO
Our Practice
Defending HealthCare Providers
As attorneys who are certified by the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys, Madden & Lynch have successfully defended a wide range of healthcare professionals, including chiropractors, osteopaths, nurses, physicians, surgeons, clinics, and hospitals. They frequently represent healthcare providers in courtrooms and before licensing boards.
Litigation
Their vast experience includes binding arbitrations, judge and jury trials at the state and federal levels. They defend against claims such as malpractice, defamation, business torts and whistleblower claims, invasion of privacy, workplace violence and safety violations, wage and hour violations, wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, and retaliation.
Workplace
Investigations
When confronted with an employee complaint, often an employer needs an independent, neutral third-party investigator to conduct an impartial workplace investigation. Our firm has training and experience in completing thorough and timely investigations.
Defending Employers
From representing large corporations to the individual employee, the firm assists with navigating ever-evolving workplace laws. When employers are facing a claim, such as harassment or discrimination, our attorneys work to achieve a fair and reasonable resolution of the dispute and zealously defend against unmeritorious claims.
Administrative Claims
Madden & Lynch counsels and represents professionals who are faced with an investigation or accusation brought by a state licensing board. In the employment arena, they defend against claims brought by government entities such as the Department of Labor, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Prepare and Update Employee Handbooks
Employers and employees are well served when workplace policies are clearly communicated. In the dynamic field of employment law, it is beneficial to have an employee handbook that is consistent with current applicable laws.
Trainings/Seminars
Elisabeth Madden frequently presents interactive sexual harassment prevention trainings to supervisors, as mandated by the State of California, at the employer’s location. In addition, she teaches seminars on various workplace laws and risk-management issues. Please contact her directly regarding any particular area of interest.
