Orin Kurtz offers individualized, strategic counseling in all aspects of the employment relationship. Orin will help your company draft compliant job advertisements, employment agreements, non-compete/restrictive covenant agreements that establish a healthy relationship with your employees from the start. Orin also serves as “outsourced HR” and can help you make informed decisions before you act, so you can avoid costly mistakes.
Orin offers a pragmatic approach that is focused on your company’s bottom line. “My mission is to develop a plan that allows employers to run their business while also staying in compliance with the employment laws,” Orin says. “The employment laws are complex and technical. And unfortunately, you can face liability even for well-meaning yet unintentional violations.”
Orin’s goal is to keep you out of litigation. However, if litigation does arise, Orin can help with that too. Orin has defended employers in lawsuits for failure to pay wages and has protected companies in department of labor audits and litigation brought by the National Labor Relations Board.
Orin has represented employers of all sizes, from a 600-employee advertising firm to smaller business like startup companies opening offices in New York, dental and other medical practices, sole proprietors, and families employing domestic help.
“By combining preventive counseling with strong advocacy when disputes occur, I provide employers with full support throughout the employment relationship.”
