Employment & Labor Law Representation

Practical, Litigation-Ready Counsel for Employers in DC, Maryland & Northern Virginia

Workplace issues are rarely simple, and the law around hiring, firing, discrimination, wages, and labor relations continues to evolve. At The Lipp Law Firm, PC, we help employers navigate these issues with clear advice grounded in real litigation experience and a practical understanding of how employment disputes unfold.

We represent employers in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia — including in Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Arlington, and Alexandria, among other areas — in a wide range of employment and labor matters, from everyday HR questions to contested litigation. Because we also handle employee-side litigation, we see employment disputes from both perspectives. That experience allows us to anticipate arguments, evaluate risk realistically, and better protect our clients’ interests.

Employment Litigation & EEOC Defense

We regularly represent employers in employment litigation and administrative proceedings. Our work includes defending matters in state and federal court, including the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria Division), Fairfax County Circuit Court, Prince William County Circuit Court, Loudoun County Circuit Court, among other courts, and before administrative agencies.

We represent employers in matters involving:

• Discrimination, retaliation, and harassment claims, including under Title VII, ADA, and state human rights acts
• Wrongful termination and employment contract disputes
• Wage and hour claims, including FLSA matters
• Leave-related claims under federal and local laws, including the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• EEOC charges and agency investigations

Because we are actively involved in litigation, our advice is informed by how these cases are actually evaluated, negotiated, and resolved.

Day-to-Day Employment Counseling

We work with employers on the decisions that shape employment relationships and reduce risk over time.

That includes guidance on:

• Hiring, discipline, and termination decisions
• Performance improvement plans and documentation
• Employment policies, handbooks, and compliance reviews
• Non-competes and non-solicitation agreements and disputes
• ADA accommodations and leave management
• Severance agreements and separation negotiations
• Responding to internal complaints and investigations

Our goal is to help employers make informed, defensible decisions while keeping business priorities front and center.

Labor Law & Union Matters

We also advise and represent employers on labor law matters involving unionized workforces and labor organizations.

Our labor law services include:

• Union organizing and recognition matters
• Collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations
• Labor arbitration and grievance defense
• National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) charge defense
• Ongoing labor-management counseling
