EXPERTISE
Mr. Hazard’s practice focuses on defending management in employment
litigation, including race, sex, age, national origin, religious and
disability discrimination lawsuits; wage and hour matters; employee
benefits and compensation cases; workplace torts; and wrongful discharge
claims. In addition, he regularly represents employers in prosecuting
and defending claims of trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition
and employee raiding.
Mr. Hazard’s cases have ranged from single plaintiff discrimination
claims to class and collective actions involving hundreds of class members.
He has successfully defended clients in both state and federal courts,
as well as in arbitrations, mediations and mini-trials. His experience
includes representing the financial services industry in NASD arbitration.
Counseling companies on day-to-day employment issues is an important
part of Mr. Hazard’s practice. This includes advising employers
on hiring, discipline, and termination decisions; on leave and disability
issues; drug testing and workplace safety matters; preserving trade
secrets; and employment issues relating to plant closures and mass layoffs.
By helping employers develop legally sound and enforceable personnel
policies and auditing their existing human resources practices and procedures,
Mr. Hazard has assisted many Colorado companies, large and small, in
minimizing the risk of employment-related litigation.
