Laurel McClead is a member of Drummond Woodsum's Labor and Employment Group. Her practice is focused on the representation of public and private employers in all aspects of employment law. Laurel regularly counsels employers of all sizes on compliance with state and federal employment laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as state wage and hour, discrimination and leave laws. She also assists employers facing government audits from the U.S. Department of Labor and the New Hampshire Department of Labor.
Laurel works with employers to manage risks related to the employer-employee relationship. She provides advice and counsel to employers on hiring, discipline, termination, lay-offs, workplace complaints of discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, employee classification issues, and a variety of other human resource and personnel matters. She helps employers conduct workplace investigations, training for employees and supervisors, and assists employers with the development of employment agreements, separation agreements, employment policies and handbooks.
Laurel represents employers before state and federal administrative agencies, including the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights, the Maine Human Rights Commission, the U.S. Departments of Labor, the New Hampshire Department of Labor, and the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security, as well as in litigation in state and federal courts.
She is admitted to practice law in both New Hampshire and Maine and has been recognized as a "Rising Star" in Employment and Labor Law by New England SuperLawyers.
We would like to hear from you, but please understand that we cannot represent you until we resolve conflicts of interest that may exist and agree to the terms of representation. Also, we cannot treat unsolicited information as confidential. Accordingly, please do not send us any information about any matter that may involve you until we send you a written confirmation that we represent you.
The best way for you to initiate a possible representation is to call us at either our Maine office (207-772-1941) or our New Hampshire office (603-433-3317). We will put you in touch with a lawyer suited to handle the general nature of your matter, and that lawyer will take you through our conflict of interest procedure. When you receive an engagement letter from that lawyer, you will be our client, and we may exchange information freely.
By clicking "continue", you agree that we may review any information you transmit to us. You recognize that transmission of such information is not solicited by us through this website, and does not initiate a prospective attorney client relationship, since, among other things, there is no reasonable basis to believe a confidential relationship may be formed by unsolicited email from a party we have not identified. Our review of your information transmitted in this manner, even if you submitted it in a good faith effort to retain us, and, further, even if it is designated as confidential, does not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even in a matter where that information could and will be used against you. All information submitted to Drummond Woodsum via this Website shall be deemed and remain the property of Drummond Woodsum, and Drummond Woodsum shall be free to use, for any purpose, any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in information a visitor provides to Drummond Woodsum through this Web site.
