Real Estate:
Employment & Fair Housing
In the course of doing business, purchasers, developers, users and sellers of real estate employ many individuals in many different capacities.
To do employment and fair housing law right, you need a legal team with broad and deep experience within the real estate industry—a legal team that knows the law and knows your business. At McDonough Holland & Allen PC, we can be your sole legal source for advice, planning, transactions and dispute resolution in the area of employment and fair housing.
We offer the full spectrum of employment law services—strategies to promote compliance and prevent employee claims as well as the experience to defend against employee claims—to public and private employers throughout California.
We represent commercial real estate employers in administrative proceedings before local civil service boards and commissions as well as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, the Employment Development Department, the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Public Employee Relations Board and the National Labor Relations Board.
Owners, investors and developers are also involved in the process of selling and renting commercial property to individuals and businesses. Fair housing laws and regulations prohibit housing discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status and national origin.
Fair housing laws apply to private housing, housing that receives federal financial assistance, and state and local government housing. Other covered activities include financing, zoning practices, new construction design and advertising.
To provide housing opportunities for people with disabilities, owners are expected to make reasonable exceptions in policies and operations. New multi-family housing must be designed and built to allow access for persons with disabilities.
Our clients are individuals, public and private companies, government agencies, and institutions. They are owners, operators, investors, lenders, insurers, developers and builders who employ individuals at all phases of the real estate process, and who sell or rent properties.
When it comes to employment law and fair housing law for the real estate industry—whether advice, planning, transactions or dispute resolution—the lawyers at McDonough Holland & Allen PC will do what it takes to help you “Do it right.”
