Newport Beach Wrongful Termination Lawyers

Utilizing over 60 years of combined experience, our California wrongful termination attorneys at the law office of Collins & Bellenghi, LLP, represent both employers and employees in matters of employment termination.

Termination Counseling

A primary area of interest to many employers is managing the conflict and exposure to litigation that arises during layoffs. We design and review layoff plans to minimize the risk of discrimination lawsuits or claims that seniority plans or union contracts were violated.

Whether an executive voluntarily leaves a company or is terminated, a variety of legal issues can arise. In addition to succession concerns, executives may be entitled to termination compensation, may have access to proprietary information, and may be in a position to unfairly compete with the company. We draft and review executive termination agreements, as well as negotiate, draft, and review executive agreements and other high-level employment contracts upon hiring to minimize the company’s risk and ensure that all expectations are clear.

Wrongful Termination Claims

Wrongful termination claims on the part of the employee often go hand in hand with discrimination or harassment accusations. Claims of employer retaliation are one of the most common reasons for employment discrimination lawsuits, qui tam claims after a whistleblower is terminated, and other conflicts.

Our California wrongful termination attorneys represent both employers and employees when wrongful termination claims arise. We will perform an in-depth investigation and analysis to determine whether the claim has merit. Accomplished trial lawyers, we can resolve the dispute through litigation, but we have the experience and judgment to know when a conflict can be better addressed through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration.
