Employment disputes are among the most disruptive challenges a business can face. Whether you are dealing with a discrimination claim, a wrongful termination allegation, or a dispute over a non-compete agreement, these matters demand experienced legal counsel and a swift, strategic response. At Crenshaw, Dupree & Milam, our Lubbock law firm dedicates its employment law practice primarily to defending employers — helping businesses of all sizes navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of employment law in Texas and across the country.
Our employment attorneys have decades of experience representing clients ranging from privately owned businesses and startups to large corporations and government entities. We have a strong track record as skilled litigators, and we fight aggressively to protect our clients’ interests at every stage of the process — from pre-litigation counseling and agency proceedings through trial and, where necessary, appellate review.
When an employment claim arises, the first step is a thorough investigation — of the complaint itself, the employee making it, and the surrounding facts and circumstances. Our attorneys conduct that investigation with precision, building the strongest possible defense from the outset. We have successfully represented employers in nearly every type of employment dispute, including:
For government employers facing civil rights claims, our employment practice works hand in hand with our governmental law team, which has deep experience defending municipalities and public officials against Section 1983 claims and other employment-related civil rights matters.

Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements are valuable tools for protecting a business’s workforce, client relationships, and proprietary information — but enforcing them requires experienced legal counsel familiar with the applicable Texas law standards. Our attorneys represent both employers seeking to enforce agreements and, in some cases, employers defending against claims that their own agreements are unenforceable. We also draft and review employment agreements, severance agreements, and other employment-related contracts for businesses seeking to minimize future exposure. For broader business contract matters, our corporate and business representation team provides additional support.
The best employment disputes are the ones that never happen. Our attorneys work with employers on a proactive basis — reviewing and drafting employee handbooks, workplace policies, and internal procedures designed to reduce legal exposure and ensure compliance with applicable federal and state employment laws. When claims do arise despite those precautions, having well-documented policies and procedures in place can make a significant difference in the outcome.
Employment claims that involve workers’ compensation issues or insurance coverage questions are also handled in coordination with our insurance litigation practice, ensuring that all dimensions of the matter are addressed by attorneys with the relevant expertise.
