In his employment practice, Chase drafts and advises on employee handbooks, compensation agreements, and restrictive‑covenant documents, and litigates wage and hour matters and claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
