Employment issues will arise. Make sure you are prepared.
Whether you have a company with 15 or 1,000 employees, you need to make sure that you have taken the steps necessary to protect your business. State and federal employment laws, workplace disputes, non-compete issues and union organizing threats are enough to make any employer uneasy.
At Ferguson Law Group, P.C., we counsel and defend small to large-sized businesses in employment law and union related matters. To speak with a knowledgeable Dallas employment lawyer, contact our office by calling 972-378-9111 or filling out our online form.

Today’s employer is faced with a dizzying array of state, federal and local employment laws and regulations. Our firm can assist your company when making difficult decisions involving:
- The Civil Rights Act, Title VII (discrimination)
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (discrimination)
- The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (discrimination)
- The National Labor Relations Act (unions)
- The Fair Labor Standards Act (overtime and minimum wage)
- The Family and Medical Leave Act (mandatory time off)

- The Texas Labor Code
We have assisted many employers with their employment policies and have ensured that the policies not only comply with the law, but also provide practical solutions that meet their business requirements.
Protect Your Trade Secrets
When you hire an employee, you are in essence entrusting him or her with your confidential information and trade secrets. Accordingly, you need to take measures to protect yourself and your business. A Dallas employment attorney from our firm will help you by:
- Creating enforceable non-compete and non-disclosure agreements
- Identifying methods for protecting your confidential information and trade secrets
Identify Problems Before They Occur
Ferguson Law Group will help you identify problem areas within your organization by performing an internal audit. This audit encompasses the following:
- Meeting with your company’s leadership team
- Reviewing what policies are effective within your organization and identifying those that require adjustment
- Creating a custom report outlining strengths and weaknesses and how your organization can increase productivity and reduce litigation exposure
Successfully Manage Union Relations
Our law firm has extensive experience with unions and has handled numerous pre and post-petition union election campaigns. Because a union organizing effort can devastate a business, we work with employers to ensure that their employee relations model builds positive relationships between employees and management. The bottom line is that employees who are satisfied with their employment do not resort to costly and often ineffective union representation.
Ferguson Law Group can also help if your company has already been organized. We have successfully negotiated contracts with unions, such as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).
Some of the services we provide in the area of union relations include:
- Union election counsel
- Unfair Labor Practice Charge representation
- Leadership training
- Collective bargaining
- Grievance processing and arbitration representation
