Labor & Employment
Roberts Carroll Feldstein & Peirce’s labor and employment team provides our clients with the practical solutions they need, when they need them. We advise our clients of their rights and responsibilities so they can avoid the expense and aggravation of litigation. We review handbooks and employment contracts and counsel clients on everything from day to day matters to major changes in operations. Because there are some problems that no amount of care and counseling can fix, we are also tenacious and innovative litigators. We have handled hundreds of labor arbitration matters, wage and hour claims and employment discrimination cases and prevailed in the vast majority of them.
Whether representing a community bank or lender in a major refinancing, helping a growing business expand its operations, or serving as loan counsel to a senior executive moving to Rhode Island, RCFP is considered a valued business partner.
