Ben Steffans’s practice focuses representing employees in employment-related claims and issues.
Ben has successfully litigated claims of employment harassment and employment discrimination based on sex, race, disability, pregnancy, age, and sexual orientation.

Ben also has significant experience in the non-compete, non-disclosure, non-solicit, and trade secret context.
