Overview
Loren Foy employs a range of professional experience in the legal industry to help executives and HR professionals proactively identify risks and equip clients with tools intentionally designed to prevent employment disputes and avoid legal claims, allowing the focus to remain on running a successful business.
Loren serves as a dedicated partner in the goal of allowing employers to nurture resilient and productive workforces while attracting and retaining top talent. Her private practice involves advising businesses of various sizes and structure on a wide range of employee-related issues, including accommodation requests, performance management issues, workforce reductions, and compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations. This also includes formulating and implementing best practices related to these common legal issues.
In addition, Loren brings significant experience in customizing personnel policies and employee handbooks, preparing employment agreements and other legally binding documents, leading workplace investigations and audits, handling employee and executive training, and defending employers against EEOC charges, administrative complaints, and single-plaintiff matters at all stages of litigation – from inception and through to resolution and appeal, when necessary.
Loren’s clients have included businesses in the manufacturing, construction, engineering, banking and financial services, transportation, and insurance industries, along with civic roles for municipalities.
Most recently, Loren worked for an alternative legal services provider and completed a secondment that allowed her to prepare employee separation agreements, review various policies to assess compliance and regulatory issues, and analyze noncompete and nonsolicitation agreements for a technology services provider. This direct partnership with the company’s legal team helps inform her approach to understanding and addressing the labor and employment matters critical to business operations specific to each client.
