Employers face challenges from them all: government investigators, employee's lawyers and employees themselves. Congress and state legislatures are always coming up with new ideas for laws affecting the workplace. Also, government agencies are continually writing regulations, investigating complaints, and demanding more and more reports.

With significant developments occurring almost daily, employers need to know that there is a place to turn for advice on the full range of employment law issues which confront them. Davis, Gilstrap is such a place where experienced attorneys concentrate on employment and management matters.

From job application forms to employee handbooks, individual employment contracts to drug and alcohol policies, our attorneys draft and review all forms of employment documents, offering practical suggestions on how best to structure the employment relations in writing. The documents we prepare are comprehensive but uncomplicated, legally sufficient but eminently readable.

Finally, our business attorneys are active professionally and in the community, conducting seminars and publishing important guidelines for the profession. Our attorneys also serve on the boards of many civic organizations.
