Employment Advice and Litigation
Brown Paindiris & Scott employs a team of experienced and knowledgeable Connecticut employment law attorneys. These attorneys represent and advise employers and employees in a full range of employment law disputes. Brown Paindiris & Scott’s guiding principle in advising employers and employees is to focus on serving the clients’ real-world interests and aims. When an individual or a company comes to us with an employment issue, we don’t see it as an abstract legal problem.
Rather, we see it as a means to achieve the client’s goals, whether the goal is developing a stable and profitable workforce, overcoming the disruption of an individual’s career, or negotiating and drafting employment agreements to protect the client’s expectations regarding a job or an employee.
When you bring an employment issue to an attorney, you want practical advice regarding the risks and rewards associated with your available legal options. What will happen if you sue now, or wait until you get another job? What can you do now to make your job situation better, or how can you get yourself in the best position to sue if you are terminated later? Should you sign a release to get severance? Our years of experience in litigating many employment cases and counseling hundreds of employees give us the knowledge to fully explore the options available to you and to advise you regarding the ramifications of each choice.
Employment Litigation Experience
The lawyers of Brown Paindiris & Scott have litigated all types of employment disputes, including conducting trials in state and federal courts and appeals to the Connecticut Supreme Court and federal appellate courts.

Both are committed to providing dedicated and compassionate representation.
Our attorneys have served as class counsel on statewide and nationwide class actions. The firm’s lawyers regularly appear before the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities and the Department of Labor. The litigation department at Brown Paindiris & Scott includes an employment law group, made up of seasoned trial counsel, associate lawyers and paralegals. We provide aggressive, but cost-effective, representation, at the cutting edge of employment law practice.
