About

Attorney Tara M. Swartz of Swartz Law, LLC has handled claims arising out of the workplace for almost 20 years. She represents employees and small business owners in all phases of workplace disputes. Her practice includes a wide range of cases, including all forms of discrimination and retaliation, sexual harassment, medical leaves and violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave law (MPFML), disabilities and the reasonable accommodation process, unpaid wages and other wage and hour violations, non-competition and non-solicitation matters, and contract and tort claims. Attorney Swartz also drafts and negotiates employment contracts and severance packages. She places an emphasis on avoidance, early detection, and resolution and believes that dedicated, one-on-one servicing of her clients is of utmost importance. In the business context, Attorney Swartz knows that startups and small businesses have many of the same employment contract and compliance concerns as large corporations but do not always have the internal resources to assign issues when they arise. She assists small businesses in determining what they need to focus on, how to achieve their goals, and importantly how to stay out of trouble. Swartz Law services clients throughout Massachusetts and in the Kansas City Metro Area through its offices in Boston and Kansas City.
