The legal issues surrounding employment involve common law, government regulation and administrative law. To successfully defend or prosecute this type of claim the lawyer needs to know the law. They also need to know the people involved and the motivations behind their claims. When an employer gets sued by a former employee it often involves personalities and hurt feelings and issues that have little to do with the lawsuit. It takes a special kind of lawyer to do it well.
