Welcome to Whitford Law Offices

Dealing with an employment law or labor law issue is distracting to business. Creating effective employee handbooks, workplace policies and practices, contracts and training of employees protects an employer and mitigates its liability. Unionized workforces create specific requirements and needs for an employer that can be difficult to navigate. Whitford Law Offices LLC assists employers throughout Washington and Oregon, including the counties of Marion, Multnomah, Pierce, and King, with complying with all employment and labor law requirements while also helping an employer meet its business goals.
