Not Sure Which Side You Are On?

Workplace disputes are not always one-sided. A manager can be both an employee with her own rights and the person the company expects to carry out a decision. An owner can be an employer with a payroll problem and a former employee with a claim against a prior company. Michael Trust Law, APC represents both employees and employers, and years in HR on the company side give him the view from both sides of the table.

If you are a manager or HR professional

You may have personal exposure and personal rights at the same time as the company’s. Before you act on a decision you doubt, or sign something the company hands you, talk to a lawyer about your own position. Michael Trust represents managers and HR professionals as individual clients, from entry-level employees through executives.

If you own or run the business

Describe your situation in the contact form. If your interests and a worker’s interests collide, the firm will tell you, before you share confidential details, whether it can take the matter and which side it would represent.

A conflict check comes first

The firm runs a conflict check before it learns the details of a matter. It represents one side of a dispute. Where the check shows that it cannot, it declines the matter.

Schedule a no-charge consultation and say who you are and who is on the other side; the first step is the conflict check.
