Atlanta’s Employment Contract Law Firm
Georgia is an “at will” employment state.
Basically, that means an Atlanta employer can release someone who is employed for an indefinite period of time for (nearly) any reason.
The only real protection you have is with a contract. But many contracts can be written in a willfully obtuse way to keep you from exercising your full rights.
Or maybe you’ve been treated poorly at your job and want to bring civil litigation. Tort Law covers all civil litigation that is not subject to a contract. In a place like Atlanta, the employer has a lot of power. But there are contract and tort claims that may offer satisfaction for employees who are unfairly terminated. Either way, when you’ve got The Law Offices of Nicholas P. Martin on your side, you’re covered.
- Are you leaving a job and feel like you’re owed more from your severance package?
- How long does your non-compete clause last?
- Legally, what does your non-disclosure agreement mean?
We’ll review your contracts and make sure you know exactly where the parameters are.
With Nicholas P. Martin looking out for you, you’re guaranteed precision.
The Basics of Employment Contract and Tort Law in Atlanta
Civil Law
Both contract and tort laws are part of civil law (as opposed to criminal law).
Contracts are intended to impose duties on parties who enter into a contractual agreement. Tort law imposes duties on the members of a community as to socially acceptable and responsible behavior.
There’s a lot of ground to cover in civil litigation, which is why you need an expert on your side.
Nick is here to guide you through difficult and confusing cases.
Some common types of employment contracts include:
- Tortious interference (also known as intentional interference with contractual relations), which is when a someone intends to damage your business relationship. For example, obstructing someone’s ability to honor a contract by threatening a supplier.
- Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, where a person behaves in an extreme and outrageous way, either intentionally or recklessly.
- Negligence, for when an employer is responsible for foreseeable harm.
- Defamation, when an employer makes a false and malicious statement about an employee that is published by a third party.
- Invasion of Privacy, where an employer discloses private facts.
