Handling Federal Employment Law Worldwide
Labor and employment law matters covering federal employees can be highly complicated. Federal employees are governed by a wide variety of statutory rights and regulatory procedures that are complex to navigate and difficult to understand. Moreover, these rights and procedures are subject to changing judicial interpretations.
Gilbert Employment Law, P.C., has focused on federal employment law since 2005. We represent U.S. federal employees and federal sector unions worldwide. Our keen focus and decades of experience have helped us to become knowledgeable, informed and powerful advocates for people like you.
Fighting For Your Rights And Well-Being In A Broad Spectrum Of Matters
In addition to the many topics discussed elsewhere on our site, our firm is highly respected for our insightful counsel and vigorous advocacy in a wide range of matters including:
- Labor law and unfair labor practices claims: Our lawyers represent unions and union members with claims of unfair labor practices including employers interfering with their right to unionize. We also assist unions in negotiating labor contracts and represent them in grievance arbitrations.
- Veterans’ employment rights: We protect federal employees against discrimination based on their service in the military. We also advocate for veterans whose reemployment rights after unformed service and veterans’ preference rights in federal hiring were violated.
- Security Clearances: We help federal employees (as well as federal contractors) fight attempts to revoke their security clearances, and provide advice to security clearance applicants needing assistance in their clearance investigations.
- Administrative Investigations: Our firm defends federal employees facing high-stakes investigations, including in Inspector General investigations, Hatch Act investigations by the Office of Special Counsel, government ethics investigations, and other forms of administrative investigations. We also offer advice to federal employees on government ethics issues.
- Retirement Issues: We assist current and former federal employees in applying for federal employee retirement benefits, including helping to fight denials of retirement applications and errors in retirement benefits computations.
- Overpayment and Debt Recoupment: Our lawyers represent current and former federal employees facing demands by the federal government for repayment of alleged debts, including attempts to garnish their wages or retirement annuities.
