Janet Hendrick is an experienced employment lawyer who tackles each of her client’s problems with a tailored, results-oriented approach. Whether training managers on employment law compliance to minimize an employer’s legal risk or representing employers in high stakes employment or trade secret litigation, she brings years of experience and in-depth legal knowledge to deliver results.
Janet regularly appears in state and federal court to defend employers of all sizes against discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and related claims. Rather than simply managing a case, Janet applies a resolution strategy from the beginning of a matter that informs every decision, always with her clients’ goals in mind. Her approach has led to successful resolution of claims whether by dispositive motion, favorable settlement, or judgment.
To help clients avoid litigation, she helps employers navigate high-risk employment decisions and audits, and trains management in a user-friendly, interactive style that results in a more productive and positive work environment and fewer claims. Janet prepares employment contracts and arbitration agreements, and prepares, defends, and enforces restrictive covenants, including non-competition agreements.
Janet is a member of the Fellows of the Texas Bar Foundation, one of the highest honors from the State Bar of Texas, based on her contributions to the legal profession and commitment to the community. She is a sought-after speaker and author on topics including gender diversity in the legal profession, workplace accommodations and leave management and evolving workplace protections of LGBT employees.
