North Carolina Employment Lawyers
For over 30 years, our employment lawyers have fought to protect the rights of employees in North Carolina, providing comprehensive legal support while navigating the complexities of workplace relations, regulations, and the evolving landscape of employment law.
Experienced Employment Lawyers for North Carolina Employees
Thanks in large part to new laws regarding employee rights, as well as increased awareness among employers regarding employment practices, most employees will never need to hire an employment lawyer. However, despite these positive developments, issues such as employment discrimination, wrongful termination, and other types of unfair treatment in the workplace still occur.
If you or a family member has experienced discrimination or any other form of unfair treatment at work, it’s crucial to understand that having a skilled employment law attorney by your side can make a significant difference in protecting your rights. Our labor and employment attorneys at Van Camp, Meacham & Newman have dedicated their careers to ensuring that North Carolina employees receive the justice they deserve. We have fought to protect the rights of employees in Fayetteville, Carthage, Fort Liberty, Raleigh, Southern Pines, Pinehurst, and the surrounding areas for more than 30 years. Our team is equipped to handle nearly any type of employment law issue or dispute, including:
Discrimination based on age, race, religion, national origin, or status as a member of any other protected class
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claims
Sexual harassment and sexual assaults in the workplace
Hostile work environments
Wage and hour claims, including unpaid wages and overtime pay
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) claims
Employee benefits and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) issues
Retaliation after filing a workers’ compensation claim

Employment law litigation and appeals
Fighting Workplace Discrimination in North Carolina
Discrimination remains one of the most common reasons employees seek the help of our experienced employment attorneys. Under federal laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Civil Rights Act of 1991, it is illegal to discriminate against an employee or prospective employee based on age, disability, equal pay, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, sex, or to engage in sexual harassment. North Carolina employment law also provides protections, which our labor and employment attorneys are well-versed in applying to defend the rights of workers.
Our firm has a deep understanding of both federal and state courts, as well as administrative agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which are often involved in employment law cases. We also have extensive experience in employment litigation, representing clients in state and federal courts throughout North Carolina.
