Then again, it could also win a new level of respect among their workforce. A lawyer can help employers understand the potential outcome of how they pursue resolution.
The Future
It has never been easier to let a large audience know exactly how you feel about a former employer. There are many online forums that job seekers and current employees alike explore every day.

Avenues for Resolving Your Dispute
Mediation
Mediation is a method of solving a legal dispute without going to court. Instead, the parties meet privately with an unbiased third party to negotiate a resolution. Mediation is often faster and less costly than litigation. It can also allow both parties to preserve their business relationship. The non-binding agreement reached in mediation is finalized once it is approved by a judge.
Arbitration
Like mediation, arbitration allows disputing parties to avoid going to court. The parties meet with an arbitrator who gains an understanding of the case and makes a decision, which can be either binding or non-binding (in other words, parties can agree to waive or retain their right to a trial if they don't agree with the arbitrator's decision). Many employment contracts require that certain disputes are resolved through arbitration.
Litigation
If your case can't be solved using some form of alternative dispute resolution, it can be settled through the court system. Our San Diego law firm can put you in contact with a business litigation attorney capable of presenting wrongful termination cases, discrimination cases, and more before a judge and jury.
Being a victim of wrongful termination, whistleblower retaliation, or discrimination in the workplace can make you feel uncertain about your future. With a San Diego employment lawyer, a favorable resolution is possible.
