How do I help protect and defend management in labor and employment matters?

Exclusively representing management in labor and employment matters, I see—and respect—the people behind the corporations, doing their best while making often difficult decisions that serve their companies, employees and communities. Between counseling employers on day-to-day workplace issues, handling EEOC matters, trying cases and advising on business immigration, I am immersed in virtually every stage of the employer-employee relationship.

Providing full service counsel and representation in labor and employment matters

Jaycee Simon focuses her practice on all aspects of labor and employment law, including litigation and trials. She represents companies in employment-related matters, including harassment and discrimination claims under Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as well as whistleblower claims and allegations of negligent hiring, supervision and retention, and retaliatory discharge.

Assisting employers with their business immigration needs

Jaycee also practices business immigration, advising employers on I-9 compliance and preparing employer-sponsored nonimmigrant visa petitions. She helps companies navigate the immigration requirements involved in recruiting and retaining foreign national employees while remaining compliant with federal law.

Offering both administrative and trial court experience

Jaycee has significant experience representing employers in administrative proceedings before agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). She also brings trial experience, most recently serving on the litigation team that secured a unanimous federal jury verdict in a case involving disability discrimination and other employment claims.

Understanding the challenges HR professionals face

Jaycee works closely with HR professionals not only in her legal practice but also through her role as General Counsel to the Oklahoma City Human Resource Society (OCHRS). The organization provides education, professional development and continuing certification opportunities for HR professionals while promoting best practices in the workplace. Her involvement keeps her connected to the evolving issues employers face and the practical challenges HR professionals encounter every day.
