Burt H. Whitt Partner • Chair of Labor & Employment T (757) 624.3275 F (757) 624.3169 bhwhitt@kaufcan.com     MH Rating

Burt is the Chairman of the firm’s Labor and Employment Practice Group. Burt has extensive experience exclusively representing management in all matters involving the employer-employee relationship. He routinely represents and counsels employers in wrongful discharge claims, accusations of discrimination or harassment, covenants not-to-compete, and government audits of employment practices.

Burt and his team offer employers one on one counseling as well as management training, including the widely recognized and well-attended Employment Law Update. These proactive measures help employers save time, money and energy by avoiding litigation.

Under Burt’s direction, the firm’s Labor and Employment Practice Group has helped employers prevail in a number of precedent setting cases in the Virginia Supreme Court. One such case effectively shields employers from many types of wrongful discharge claims under state law. Another victory helps employers enforce non-compete covenants, protecting them from unfair competition by former employees.
