Oberheiden P.C. Handles Many Kinds of Business Disputes in Manhattan
Business litigation implicates several areas of law, from employment law to intellectual property law. Oberheiden P.C. is an experienced law firm that handles a variety of matters.
Employment Law
Oberheiden P.C. has substantial experience defending employers in lawsuits brought by current and former employees. Our attorneys defend employers in court, mediation, arbitration, and administrative proceedings with the City of New York and New York State. When we can, our experienced attorneys try to resolve employment disputes before they become publicized in court. We handle disputes in a range of areas, including:
- Discrimination. Employees receive anti-discrimination protection under federal and New York State law. However, New York City has more specific anti-discrimination protections. New York City Human Rights Law protects additional classes like immigration/citizenship and caregiver status. With discrimination cases, it is important that your business retains a locally knowledgeable attorney.
- Wage and Hour. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers must adhere to minimum wage, overtime, and record-keeping requirements. New York City also goes a step further with Fair Workweek Law, a set of regulations with additional requirements for certain fast food and retail employers.
- Disability. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employees must receive reasonable accommodations for specific disabilities. Employers are not required to provide a requested reasonable accommodation if it would cause undue hardship.
Contract Disputes
Oberheiden P.C. also has extensive experience helping clients resolve contract disputes. Our attorneys strive to settle contract disputes before they reach litigation, but we have also represented businesses in court. We represent clients in a wide range of contract matters, including:
- Violations of Non-Compete Agreements. New York does not currently have a complete ban on non-compete agreements, although some introduced bills seek to ban them. We represent businesses seeking to enforce or challenge non-compete provisions depending on the case context.
- Breach of Confidentiality. As a business, it is vital to keep certain information out of the hands of competitors. Non-disclosure agreements are critical to protect trade secrets and proprietary information. We represent businesses when vendors or partners violate these agreements.
Shareholder disputes come in many different forms. At Oberheiden P.C., we represent companies and board members in a variety of actions initiated by shareholders. They may involve allegations over executive compensation, shareholder appraisal rights, or disagreements about the direction of the corporation.
Intellectual Property Law
Our attorneys at Oberheiden P.C. represent businesses and companies in intellectual property matters, including in federal court. We handle a variety of intellectual property disputes, including:
- Trademarks. A trademark is a word, phrase, or logo that identifies the source of the product and serves as signatures for businesses. Similarly, “trade dress” refers to the idea that a product’s unique appearance or style can be a source indicator. At Oberheiden P.C., we represent companies against those who copy trademarks and trick consumers.
- Patents. A patent is a significant asset for a company. Disputes may arise over patent infringement and licensing. Additionally, someone may challenge the validity of a patent. Our team works to protect our clients’ inventions and prevent others from profiting from their efforts.
- Copyright. Federal law grants copyright protection to creative works like art, literature, and even software. We represent companies in disputes over unauthorized use, licensing disputes, and copyright enforcement.
