Corlew Law Now Offers Early Intervention In Employment Litigation
Pascagoula, Mississippi (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- Scott Corlew of the Corlew Law Firm is now offering early intervention in employment litigation, a process that can help end the dispute in a shorter amount of time.
When an employee becomes unhappy at work, he or she may look for a way to blame the employer. The employee may decide they are being harassed, either sexually or in a more general way, by their co-workers. Some employees may feel they were discriminated against when they were passed over for a promotion. Getting to the truth of the situation involved hours of interviewing everyone involved and these interviews are often emotional.
“Most lawsuits are won or lost in the preparation phase,” Corlew said. “Early intervention is another tool to settle a lawsuit early, before it costs both parties a lot of time and money.”
Early intervention has other advantages. First, if the employee is still working with the company, there is likely tension between the employee and management and possibly the employee and his or her coworkers. Early intervention can resolve the issue quickly and allow the employees to focus on their work and not the lawsuit.
In an employment dispute, often both parties are losing financially. The employee may have been terminated and has lost his or her steady income. The employer may be spending thousands of dollars to defend the claim. By working toward a settlement early, both parties can avoid some financial losses.
Corlew has more than 16 years of experience in dealing with employment lawsuits. He is a trained mediator and arbitrator and has arbitrated and mediated dozens of cases. He has successfully handled complex mediation and arbitration for clients as an attorney as well. Corlew currently serves on the Fee Dispute Resolution Committee for the Mississippi Bar Association, and is a past board member of Mississippi Defense Lawyers Association.
