Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Noncompete Agreements

This is the first requirement that must be met for a non-compete agreement to be enforceable. To determine whether an "otherwise enforceable agreement" exists, it is necessarily to ignore the covenant not to compete contained in the agreement and, with respect to the remaining provisions in the agreement, ask whether both the employer and the employee are each making at least one binding promise.

- Wage and Hour Law

No matter what your chosen field, you work very hard for a living. You need the money you have earned to pay your bills and take care of your family. You deserve to be paid wages and benefits in full and on time. At Fell & Wood, LLP we take claims of unpaid wages very seriously. Contact our Dallas wage and hour law attorneys today to discuss claiming the pay to which you are entitled.

- Worth Overtime Pay Law

When you have given your time and talent to your employer, staying late at work or working extra hours on the weekend, you look forward to the extra pay that goes along with such dedication. It is a harsh blow when you open your pay check to find that you have not been paid overtime pay for your extra effort. Compensation for work done in excess of 40 hours a week is governed very strictly by Texas and federal law. Contact our Dallas-Fort Worth overtime pay law attorneys today to discuss your options.

- Unfair Competition

In Texas, "unfair competition" constitutes the variety of claims that can be asserted to stop or remedy unlawful or unfair competition. These claims include; Breach of Non-Compete Agreement, Tortious Interference with Contract, Tortious, Interference with Prospective Business Relations, Misappropriation of Trade Secrets and Breach of Fiduciary Duty.

- Sexual Discrimination

It is unlawful to discriminate against an employee because of her sex. A claim of sex discrimination based upon circumstantial evidence requires the plaintiff to first make a prima facie case of discrimination. The plaintiff does this by showing that she (1) belongs to a protected group (i.e., she is female); (2) was qualified for the position; (3) suffered an adverse employment action; and (4) was replaced by a male. If the terminated employee can make this showing, she may be entitled to recover lost wages, compensatory damages, and punitive damages.

- Pregnancy Discrimination

Pregnancy discrimination is against the law. It is unlawful for an employer to engage in unlawful stereotyping which disadvantages pregnant women. An employer cannot assume that a pregnant woman is not up to the job. Employers must treat pregnant women like other employees. If an employer terminates or otherwise mistreats a woman because she is pregnant, it can face liability under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Moreover, a pregnant woman may also have rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
