Lawrence M. Donoghue offers a wealth of experience in labor and employment law to both individuals and businesses seeking practical advice on dealing with the complex issues that arise under the web of state and federal laws regulating workplace behavior. These laws include:
     - The Civil Rights Act of 1964
     - Americans with Disabilities Act
     - Age Discrimination in Employment Act
     - Illinois Human Rights Act
     - OSHA Regulations
     - Veterans Reemployment Rights Act
     - And many others
 
In recent years he has represented many executives in negotiating their severance agreements and employment contracts. These contractual arrangements frequently include non-compete clauses that limit an executive’s ability to work in his or her field for a period of time following employment. By working with clients before these agreements are signed, Larry is often able to negotiate more favorable terms allowing clients to pursue their career without artificial restrictions.
 
He has worked with business clients in employment discrimination matters and litigation and has represented many clients in investigations brought by the EEOC and state agencies challenging employment practices. By getting involved early in the investigative process he is able to forestall more extensive and public proceedings.
 
In addition, Larry has helped many clients in revising their personnel policy manuals and other employment documents to insure compliance with applicable law and avoid liability in the event of a later challenge.
