Gabriel Smith Attorney at Law

Labor & Employment Law

Employment relationships are governed by a complex network of state and federal regulations. I counsel both workers and employers on compliance and dispute resolution.

Workplace Standards

Federal and Alabama Rules

Employment regulations blend nationwide statutes with provisions unique to Alabama. Compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act sets minimum wage and overtime requirements while state policies address hiring practices and meal breaks.

Gabriel Smith advises Opelika employers and workers on these rules so that offices and job sites operate smoothly. Clear understanding reduces conflicts and promotes productivity.

Contract Negotiations

Protecting Employers and Employees

Employment agreements outline the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Noncompete clauses, confidentiality terms, and severance packages must be drafted carefully to stand up in court.

By reviewing or negotiating these contracts, Gabriel helps clients safeguard their interests while complying with Alabama law. Precise language prevents confusion should disagreements arise later.

Resolving Disputes

Representation in Court and Before Agencies

Conflicts sometimes develop despite well crafted policies. Early intervention can lead to settlements that preserve working relationships and avoid lengthy proceedings.

When litigation becomes necessary, Gabriel represents clients before state agencies and in court. Call (334) 750-1729 or email [email protected] for guidance.
