Human resources teams, in-house counsel, executives, senior leadership, and boards turn to Goulston & Storrs for guidance on the full spectrum of compliance, operational, and employee relations matters. Our attorneys partner with clients to manage every stage of the employment relationship—supporting hiring and onboarding, training and development, performance management, accommodations and leaves, and workforce transitions.

Our Employment Group includes seasoned investigators who conduct sensitive workplace inquiries into allegations of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other misconduct. We help clients comply with key federal and state employment laws, including Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, the FMLA, and the FLSA. Multiple team members have completed MCAD-certified training in investigations, enabling us to deliver discreet, compliant, and effective processes.
For many clients, we serve as a trusted, long-term partner—some for nearly two decades—delivering practical direction, timely responses, and strong advocacy at every stage of the employment relationship.
