​

Employment law in Massachusetts is highly protective of workers and constantly evolving, making it critical to have clear, practical guidance. We represent both employees and employers throughout the Cambridge and Greater Boston area, helping clients understand their rights and responsibilities under laws such as the Massachusetts Wage Act and Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act. Our goal is to simplify complex legal issues and provide straightforward advice you can act on.

​

We assist employees with wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, retaliation, wage disputes, and employment agreements. For employers, we provide proactive counseling on hiring practices, employee discipline, workplace policies, and compliance with Massachusetts-specific regulations. Whether you are navigating a sensitive workplace issue or trying to avoid one, we offer practical solutions tailored to your situation.

​

Our practice also has deep experience in collective bargaining and labor relations. Paul Toner has worked extensively in unionized environments, advising on contract negotiations, grievance procedures, and labor-management collaboration. This includes experience in public sector labor relations, helping clients navigate complex bargaining frameworks, resolve disputes efficiently, and build productive, long-term working relationships between management and unions.

​

When disputes arise, we focus on efficient resolution—through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary. We regularly handle matters before agencies such as the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. Our approach is strategic, responsive, and grounded in achieving results that protect your interests.
