Keith L. Hammond


Keith L. Hammond, Esquire, has been serving clients throughout Florida and across the country in all aspects of labor and employment law since 1999.  Mr. Hammond’s practice is primarily management-based, and he advises clients on a diverse range of legal issues in the workplace, including the prevention of discrimination, harassment and retaliation; wage and hour compliance; management of employees leaves of absence; non-compete agreement and restrictive covenant enforcement; trade secrets; and executive-level employment agreements.


Mr. Hammond has successfully represented clients before numerous governmental agencies, including the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division, the National Labor Relations Board, and the Florida Commission on Human Relations.  He is admitted to practice before all state and federal courts in Florida, as well as the Seventh, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.  Mr. Hammond has also been admitted pro hac vice in the District of New Mexico, the Western District of Wisconsin, the Eastern and Middle Districts of Pennsylvania, the Western District of Tennessee, and in the state of Kansas.


Mr. Hammond frequently lectures to executives and Human Resources personnel through organizations such as Vistage Florida, the Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association, the Hospitality Human Resources Association, the Society for Human Resources Management, and the Association of Corporate Counsel.  Mr. Hammond has also authored scholarly articles on workplace law issues.


When he is not in court, advising clients or managing the firm, Mr. Hammond goes by “Keith” and is running marathons; traveling with his wife, Kelly; walking their dog, Max; and pretending he knows how to cook.
