Employment Litigation Lawyers

Skilled Attorneys for Non-Compete Agreements

When an employee files a claim against a business owner and his or her company, the ramifications can be serious. Such claims can affect the company's productivity as well as the morale of the rest of the staff. Ultimately, profitability and sustainability may be negatively impacted. At Rolewick & Gutzke, P.C., we understand that employment-based claims must be dealt with directly and in a manner that limits the damage to a company's day-to-day operations. Our attorneys are prepared to protect our clients in all types of employment litigation, from wage and hour claims, to discrimination, to breaches of confidentiality and non-competition agreements.

At our law firm, we have been providing reliable representation to employers throughout Northern Illinois for nearly 40 years. Our attorneys are well-versed in employment law at both the state and federal levels. We take the time to get know our clients and develop long-standing relationships so that we can fully understand their professional needs and goals.

Employee Claims

The experienced employment attorneys at Rolewick & Gutzke, P.C. handle all types of employment-related claims, including:

• Minimum wage violations
• Unpaid overtime
• Discrimination and harassment claims, including sexual harassment
• Noncompliance with federal guidelines regarding health insurance or medical leave
• Wrongful termination
• Breach of employment contracts

Our firm is also equipped to help develop and enforce non-compete and non-disclosure agreements in compliance with Illinois law. We understand that such agreements must be reasonable and appropriately limited in their scope. A non-compete agreement may be used to prevent a current or former employee from working for a competitor in a particular geographic area for a certain amount of time after leaving your company. A non-disclosure agreement prevents workers from sharing trade secrets or proprietary processes with unauthorized individuals without express consent. Both are intended to help protect business investments, but they must be drafted carefully and should be used only when necessary.
