Wrongful Discharge

Schiff Hardin represents clients in cases alleging wrongful discharge in various federal and state courts. Those cases include:

  • Claims of retaliatory discharge (including whistleblower retaliation)
  • Violation of employment contracts
  • Handbooks and policy statements as contracts
  • Implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing
  • Fraud
  • Defamation
  • Emotional distress
  • Assault

The breadth of our firm's experience with employment-related claims enables us to respond quickly and efficiently to conventional (as well as unconventional) theories, and to alert our clients to their common law and statutory defenses and, where appropriate, available counterclaims.
