Employment Law
All employees in Texas, unless specified otherwise by a contract, are "at-will" employees. This means that an employee can set the standard for how it treats its employees and can terminate its employees for any given reason. However, both federal and state laws prevent employers from discriminating against their employees and set specific parameters for determining employee pay. This has led Employment Law to become one of the most expansive areas of the law. See below for some areas this law firm focuses on.
