Federal laws give special protection to "protected classes" – primarily age, gender (including sex
harassment and discrimination), race, disability, and sexual orientation. Davis & Cannon, LLP's lawyers
advise clients on how best to make employment decisions that will avoid problems with members of those
protected classes, and we will defend you at the administrative level and in court, when a charge of
discrimination has been filed.
Discrimination charges must begin at the administrative level, either with the Wyoming Department of
Employment or the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Often the matter can be
resolved at that level, at less cost to the employer than litigation. Our lawyers are experienced
with the labyrinths of the administrative process.

Employment disputes frequently arise when an employee is terminated, whether or not the employee is a member
of a "protected class." Resolution of such disputes often depends upon the interpretation of the employment
contract; or whether the employee is "at-will" or can be terminated only for cause. Our lawyers have been
successful in defending such lawsuits, whether in the case of an individual termination or a larger reduction
in force.
Employee Handbooks are key to establishing the contractual employment relationship, as well as being a tool for
communication to employees. Davis & Cannon, LLP's lawyers are experienced in drafting the right language to
meet the employer's objectives, and to comply with the numerous legal requirements from a sexual harassment
policy to the Family Medical Leave Act. We have successfully enforced non-compete and confidentiality agreements.
