Attorneys for New York Employers
Our attorneys at Raff & Becker, LLP, represent employers and businesses in New York City, Long Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County and surrounding areas. Many employers are looking for ways to properly treat their employees in accordance with the law and thereby reduce the likelihood that employees will file legal claims against them.

To that end, Raff & Becker, LLP, provides the following services:
- We draft and review employee handbooks and/or policy manuals to ensure that policies comply with Federal, State and local laws.
- Our attorneys also provide training for managers, supervisors and line staff on a variety of topics that impact the workforce, such as cultural sensitivity, recognizing substance abuse and alcohol problems, conflict resolution at the work site and techniques for defusing tensions between supervisors and staff.
- Our attorneys perform legal audits to determine whether policies and practices might expose the business to liability, and we help reformulate them to minimize liability, while tailoring them to meet the unique needs of the business.
- We provide advice regarding discipline and terminations.
