Workplace Policies & Procedures Attorney in Huntington, WV

Helping West Virginia Businesses Build Fair, Compliant, and Defensible Workplace Standards

Clear internal policies are the foundation of a well-run workplace — and a strong defense against legal claims. At McClure & Goad, our employment lawyers in Huntington, WV help businesses create and refine policies that align with employment law, promote fairness, and support day-to-day operations.

Why Workplace Policies Matter

From onboarding to discipline, your internal procedures guide how decisions are made and employees are treated. Legally sound policies:


  • Ensure consistency in discipline, promotions, and evaluations
  • Support compliance with federal and state employment laws
  • Help defend against wrongful termination or discrimination claims
  • Create clarity for both employees and managers

Outdated or inconsistent procedures can create confusion, risk, or costly disputes. We help you get it right.
