Practice system
Employment & Labor, run as a system.
Discrimination, wrongful termination, wage claims, agreements and workplace advice: agency-deadline-driven.
The administrative-exhaustion gauntlet. The matter's early life is governed by agency clocks whose miss is fatal, and the litigation that follows is time-boxed by the right-to-sue letter.

Questions
Before you book the call.
- Do you build a matter management system specifically for employment & labor practices?
- Yes. It runs on the same MATTER Method as everything else I build, configured for how employment & labor actually moves: The administrative-exhaustion gauntlet. The matter's early life is governed by agency clocks whose miss is fatal, and the litigation that follows is time-boxed by the right-to-sue letter.
- What does the system actually track for a employment & labor matter?
- Every stage from intake to resolution, the facts that matter most for this practice (charge filing deadline, right-to-sue clock, arbitration agreement), the document set the matter actually produces, and one computed read: damages model, back pay accrued to date plus front-pay and liquidated-damages bands per claim type, ticking upward live.
- Can I get this through MatterOS, or does it need a custom build?
- Both. It ships as a configured practice pack inside MatterOS for solo and small-firm workflows, or as a private, purpose-built system when a firm needs more control over data, integrations or workflow. Either way, we start with a short call to see which fits.
- Do you also handle litigation technology and expert witness work for these matters?
- Separately, yes, under the same practice. If a matter needs digital evidence structured or presented in a US courtroom rather than just tracked, that is the second half of what I do. See the Services page for how that engagement runs.
