Clear and practical guidance for employees and employers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island workplace disputes.

Employment law disputes carry both legal and personal consequences. For employees, they can threaten livelihoods, reputations, and future opportunities. For employers, they create financial exposure, compliance risk, and workplace disruption. Clients seeking the right employment lawyer need an attorney who understands their mission, goals, and risks. CLP understands this and prioritizes developing a partnership with its employment clients. Only then can CLP bring clarity and strategy to the employment concerns facing our clients—protecting rights, preserving leverage, and moving matters toward resolution.

We represent both employees and employers across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with a focus on small to mid-sized businesses, contractors, and professionals. Our dual perspective allows us to anticipate the other side’s strategy and tailor our approach for maximum effect.
