Elizabeth Van Moppes’s Summary
Workplace Counselor, the Law Office of Elizabeth Van Moppes, assists employers in identifying legal issues, building a solid defense, meeting compliance requirements, and developing best practices – practices which preserve management rights while honoring the workplace laws. The goal is to partner with employers, allowing them to concentrate on running their business by providing legal guidance in everyday workplace related issues and advice on complicated employee management situations. Ms. Van Moppes is also available as legal counsel to individual managers who are negotiating employment contracts with a current or prospective employer. Additionally, Ms. Van Moppes's practice includes independent workplace investigations working either directly with company HR departments or as hired by counsel for a company.
"I have advised employers in matters related to workplace law for more than ten years. The reward for me is in the relationship and partnership with my clients. Forming Workplace Counselor allows me to concentrate on this relationship as a foundation for my services, setting me apart from the numerous impersonal lawyers and law firms, providing clients with an outside counsel relationship that they trust, at an hourly rate they can justify." - Elizabeth Van Moppes

Elizabeth Van Moppes’s Experience

Owner
Workplace Counselor LLC, Law Offices of Elizabeth Van Moppes
(Law Practice industry)
May 2006 — Present (2 years 3 months)
After a decade of practice under the umbrella of two nationally renowned law firms and as a State Assistant Attorney General, I have opened my own firm, Workplace Counselor.
The core business policy of Workplace Counselor is to maintain personal contact with clients to better understand their business needs and help them achieve their goals. Through this approach, I earn my clients’ trust and confidence, acting as a resource for issues that arise in managing employees.
"Legal issues are tough for anybody in business, and the weight of some of these issues is unimaginable. During these times, you need ... faith that the attorney you hire is focused, dedicated, and [going to] deliver results. You need to [know]that your attorney feels they have as much at stake in the outcome is you do. In my 20 years of business, the only attorney that I have ever hired that filled these requirements was Elizabeth Van Moppes." - Mike Cannon, Executive Vice President, Bellacure, Inc. -
