Comprehensive Employment Law Services
Wrongful Termination and Retaliation
If you were fired in violation of your legal rights, including due to discrimination, whistleblowing, or retaliation for reporting misconduct, you may have a wrongful termination claim. Our attorneys assess your case, gather the necessary evidence, and pursue compensation for back pay, lost wages, reinstatement, and emotional distress.
Workplace Harassment and Discrimination
Harassment and discrimination based on gender, race, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation create hostile work environments with lasting consequences. Our attorneys advocate for employees’ dignity and rights, assist with EEOC filings, and pursue legal action when necessary. We also help employers implement compliant anti-discrimination policies and training programs.
Wage and Hour Disputes
Employees are entitled to fair compensation under state and federal law. If you have been denied overtime pay, misclassified as exempt, or otherwise underpaid, our attorneys will review your records and advocate for the wages you are owed. For employers, we offer proactive compliance reviews and training to prevent wage and hour violations before they become costly claims.
Employment Contracts and Severance Agreements
Our attorneys draft, review, and negotiate employment agreements, non-compete and non-solicitation clauses, severance packages, and equity arrangements. Whether you are an executive evaluating a separation agreement or a business owner protecting your interests, we ensure the terms are legally sound and aligned with your goals.
Employer Representation and HR Counsel
TNS Associates provides ongoing legal counsel to Colorado employers, including drafting employee handbooks, reviewing workplace policies, advising HR departments on compliance, and guiding businesses through internal investigations and dispute resolution. Our goal is to reduce your legal exposure while helping you maintain a productive, legally compliant workplace.
Whistleblower and Retaliation Claims
Colorado and federal law protect employees who report illegal activity, safety violations, or other misconduct from retaliation by their employer. If you have faced adverse employment action for speaking up, our attorneys will evaluate your whistleblower protections and pursue the remedies available to you under applicable law.
Why Employment Law Disputes Demand Experienced Representation
Employment law matters carry significant stakes for both employees and employers. For employees, a wrongful termination, a hostile work environment, or unpaid wages can have lasting financial and emotional consequences. For employers, a single misstep in policy, documentation, or discipline can result in costly litigation and reputational damage. TNS Associates brings decades of experience to both sides of these disputes, offering the balanced perspective and strategic advocacy that complex employment matters require.
Experienced Litigation and Negotiation
Our attorneys are experienced litigators who handle complex employment cases with confidence, whether the path to resolution is negotiation, an agency complaint, or full courtroom litigation.
Balanced Employee and Employer Perspective
Because we represent both employees and employers, TNS Associates brings a unique understanding of how workplace disputes develop and how to resolve them efficiently from either side of the table.
Proactive Compliance Support
For employers, preventing disputes is far less costly than resolving them. Our attorneys help businesses develop sound policies, conduct training, and stay current with evolving Colorado and federal employment law requirements.
Strategic, Tailored Representation
No two employment matters are alike. We develop a legal strategy tailored to your specific circumstances, goals, and risk tolerance, whether you need aggressive litigation or a negotiated resolution that preserves an important relationship.
Responsive, Relationship-Driven Counsel
TNS Associates has served Colorado clients from the same location with the same dedicated team since 1984. Our clients receive direct access to experienced attorneys, not case managers, and communication that keeps you informed at every stage.
