About Tawny Alvarez
Tawny centers her practice on the understanding that the employment landscape is ever-changing—from medical marijuana’s effect on drug testing, to the effect of social networking in the workplace and mobile devices’ effect on wage and hour issues. In this evolving landscape she recognizes that for companies to remain profitable and successful they must be proactive, as opposed to reactive, to these employment issues. As many of these issues are swiftly evolving, Tawny prides herself on staying abreast of their development and crafting cost-effective solutions for adapting. She sensibly recognizes that one size representation does not fit all and focuses her practice on providing creative, cost-effective, and individualized labor and employment counseling and representation to clients. In each situation she recognizes that each company’s culture and employment needs are distinct and crafts her practice to providing solutions that take these individualized needs and cultures into account. Tawny frequently defends clients in court and before administrative bodies throughout the Northeast with relation to their employment issues including: Whistleblowing; Harassment; Discrimination; Unemployment Compensation Retaliation; Wage and hour; Employment agreements, including breach of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements; Drug testing; FMLA, ADA, FLSA, OSHA, USERRA, GINA, and ADEA; Supervisor liability; and Social media and technology in the workplace Her experience working with judges across the country at the trial and appellate levels provides her with a unique level of insight as to the ins-and-outs of state and federal litigation. Outside the adversarial setting she counsels clients on best practices to minimize potential litigation with current and former employees including preparation of separation agreements and drafting and revising policy handbooks.
