As an extension of its strong commitment to its business clients, The Hawn Law Firm advises small and mid-size business owners on all areas of D.C. employment law affecting the employer/employee relationship, including; harassment and discrimination, Equal Opportunity, Americans With Disabilities, family and medical leave, computer and email issues, compliance with wage and hour laws, dress codes, drug testing, at-will employment, COBRA, vacation and sick leave.  We work to prevent problems before they develop and effectively resolve the problems that do occasionally occur.
