Whether you’re an employee dealing with unfair treatment or an employer striving to comply with labor laws, having the right legal guidance can make all the difference.

What Employment And Labor Lawyers Do
Employment and labor lawyers handle legal matters related to workplace relationships, employee rights, and employer responsibilities. These cases often involve issues such as wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, wage disputes, harassment, contract negotiations, and compliance with labor regulations.
Willinger, Willinger & Bucci, P.C. is one of Connecticut’s most respected and knowledgeable labor and employment law teams. We vigorously and compassionately represent victims of unlawful employment practices across the state. When your livelihood and reputation are in jeopardy, you’ll find no greater ally than us.
After nearly two decades of practice, we have significant experience navigating the complexities of employment relationships and the laws that govern them. We understand constitutional issues and intricate state and federal laws that relate to how government and private employers must treat prospective, current, and former employees, including:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)

For employees, we help enforce their rights when they’ve been treated unfairly or subjected to unlawful practices. For employers, we provide counsel on best practices to reduce liability, handle disputes, and create a compliant workplace. Whether representing individuals or businesses, our focus is on resolving conflicts effectively while protecting our clients’ interests.
How We Address Workplace Challenges
We understand that workplace disputes can be both stressful and disruptive. We approach each case by listening carefully to your concerns and providing tailored legal strategies.
For example, a recent client came to us after being wrongfully terminated from their job following a report of unsafe working conditions. We worked quickly to gather evidence, file the appropriate claims, and negotiate a settlement that not only compensated them for lost wages but also addressed the emotional impact of the situation. This resolution gave our client the confidence to move forward with their career.
For employers, we help by reviewing policies, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes before they escalate. We’ve assisted businesses in creating employee handbooks, conducting workplace investigations, and defending against claims of discrimination. By addressing potential risks proactively, we help employers create safer, more compliant workplaces.
Why Workplace Legal Representation Matters
Workplace issues can escalate quickly, often resulting in significant financial and emotional consequences. Without proper legal representation, employees may struggle to enforce their rights, while employers risk liability and reputational damage.
