Restraining Order
In some cases, the threat to a lawyerâ€™s practice may come before a grievance or complaint is even filed. Under certain circumstances, the Chair of the Disciplinary Hearing Commission may enter an interim suspension of a lawyerâ€™s license, similar to a temporary restraining order, pending resolution of formal allegations of professional misconduct. Lawyers have a procedural right to defend their practice of law until given a full and fair opportunity to defend against allegations of professional misconduct.

Employment Discrimination

Employment Contract
You have the right to consult with an employment lawyer before signing any employment contract or severance agreement. You also have the right to be represented by an attorney of your choice when employment discrimination, harassment, or wage and hour disputes arise. Any time you are considering filing a complaint, you should talk to an experienced employment lawyer first. Your attorney will help you negotiate with your employer, file any necessary complaints, and protect your rights before the EEOC and in state or federal court. Please contact an attorney at Patterson Harkavy to discuss your claim.
Employment Litigation
Jonathan R. Harkavy is a certified mediator whose entire practice is devoted to alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration. His national practice includes class actions, complex commercial disputes, and employment disputes of all kinds. Nahomi Harkavy, who is â€œof counselâ€ in the firm, also mediates a wide variety of employment disputes.
Non-compete Agreement
Some non-compete agreements and restrictive covenants are enforceable in North Carolina, but it depends on the exact terms of the agreement. If there is litigation about a non-compete agreement in court, some of the factors at play are how necessary the restriction is for the employer, the time limit of the restrictions, the geographic scope, and how the agreement was reached.
Severance Agreement
If you are separating from a company, they may ask you to sign a severance agreement to receive severance pay or continue benefits after you are terminated. You have the right to negotiate the terms of your severance. Talk to an employment lawyer before you sign an agreement that could affect your rights.
Sexual Harassment
Buckley v. Series 1 of Oxford Insurance Insurance Company, the North Carolina Supreme Court issued a unanimous, per curiam decision affirming the trial courtâ€™s determination that certain documents related to an employerâ€™s investigation of sexual harassment were not protected by attorney-client privilege. Patterson Harkavy attorneys Paul Smith and Narendra Ghosh, along with attorney Laura Wetsch, submitted an amicus brief to the Court on behalf of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice.

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in our favor, finding that the defendant hospital was required to produce a critical document it prepared shortly after the incident in question.
Disability Discrimination
Under Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act, it is illegal for an employer with at least 15 employees to fire, refuse to hire, or make any employment decision because of your race, color, religion, sex (gender) or national origin. This includes a wide variety of employment decisions, such as compensation, shift assignments, employment benefits, privileges, promotions, and task assignments, as well as more traditional hiring and firing decisions. There are also laws protecting against age discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and disability discrimination.
