Protecting the interests of employers and employees in high-stakes workplace conflicts across Texas.
Employment relationships generate some of the most contentious and consequential disputes in commercial litigation. Whether you are a company trying to protect trade secrets after a key executive departs, or an employee who has been wrongfully terminated or denied wages you earned, the stakes are personal, financial, and often existential. These cases move fast, involve sensitive information, and demand counsel who understands both sides of the table.
Preminger PLLC represents both employers and employees in employment disputes across Texas state and federal courts. Dov Preminger brings Fortune 500 defense experience from Norton Rose Fulbright—one of the largest law firms in the world—combined with the responsiveness and efficiency of a focused litigation practice. That combination means sophisticated legal strategy without the overhead, delays, or impersonal service that large firms impose.
Texas law permits enforcement of non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, but only when they meet specific statutory requirements under the Texas Business and Commerce Code. Many non-competes are poorly drafted, overbroad, or unsupported by adequate consideration. Others are entirely valid and being violated by a departing employee who walked out the door with proprietary information.
Preminger PLLC handles both sides of these disputes:
Texas is an at-will employment state, but that does not mean employers can terminate employees for any reason. Federal and state law prohibit termination based on race, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion, and other protected characteristics. Employees who report illegal conduct—whistleblowers—are protected from retaliation under multiple state and federal statutes.
We represent employees who have been terminated in violation of these protections, pursuing claims under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Texas Labor Code, and other applicable statutes. We also defend employers against wrongful termination claims, helping companies demonstrate that legitimate, well-documented business reasons supported the termination decision.
Workplace discrimination and harassment claims carry significant legal exposure for employers and profound personal consequences for employees. These cases require careful handling of sensitive facts, preservation of electronic evidence, and a thorough understanding of the administrative exhaustion requirements that apply before litigation can proceed.
We handle claims involving:
Whether you are filing an EEOC charge or responding to one, Preminger PLLC provides strategic guidance from the earliest stages of the administrative process through trial.
Wage disputes under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Texas Payday Law can involve unpaid overtime, misclassification of employees as independent contractors or exempt workers, failure to pay final wages, and unlawful deductions. These claims can carry liquidated damages, meaning the financial exposure for employers can double. For employees, recovering unpaid wages is often a matter of basic fairness and financial survival.
Senior executives, physicians, and other high-level professionals face unique employment issues. Negotiating or litigating the terms of employment agreements—including compensation structures, equity and bonus provisions, termination clauses, non-compete restrictions, and severance packages—requires counsel who understands both the business context and the legal enforceability of each provision. We draft, review, negotiate, and when necessary litigate executive employment agreements.
At Norton Rose Fulbright, Dov Preminger handled employment matters for Fortune 500 companies, gaining deep experience in the strategies and standards that major corporations apply to employment disputes. That institutional knowledge now serves both employer and employee clients at Preminger PLLC—employers benefit from big-firm caliber defense, and employees benefit from counsel who knows exactly how the other side thinks.
