Wagner Stuart PLLC – Tulsa, OK

Strategic Employment Law for Management

Wagner Stuart PLLC is a specialized boutique law firm in Tulsa, Oklahoma, focusing exclusively on representing management in Employment Law and labor relations. The firm was founded by seasoned attorneys striving to provide high-level legal counsel with the agility and personal attention of a smaller practice. They serve as a strategic partner to employers, ranging from small local businesses to large corporations, helping them navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of workplace regulations. Unlike general practice firms, Wagner Stuart dedicates its entire practice to the employer-employee relationship, ensuring that their clients receive advice that is both legally sound and practically applicable to their business operations.

Employment Litigation Defense

When legal disputes arise, Wagner Stuart PLLC provides robust defense for employers in state and federal courts. The firm is highly experienced in defending against claims of Workplace Discrimination (Title VII, ADA, ADEA), sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and retaliation. They also handle complex wage and hour litigation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), including collective actions. Their attorneys are skilled litigators who work aggressively to protect the reputation and financial interests of their clients, often securing dismissals or favorable settlements before a case reaches trial.

HR Counseling and Compliance

Prevention is the best defense, and Wagner Stuart places a strong emphasis on proactive counseling. They act as an extension of their clients’ Human Resources departments, providing day-to-day advice on hiring, discipline, and termination decisions. The firm drafts and reviews Employee Handbooks, employment contracts, and non-compete agreements to ensure compliance with Oklahoma and federal laws. They also conduct internal investigations into employee misconduct and provide training for managers on anti-harassment policies. This advisory role helps businesses avoid the costly pitfalls of non-compliance.

Labor Relations and Unions

Wagner Stuart PLLC also possesses expertise in traditional Labor Law, an area that requires specialized knowledge of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). They represent management in dealings with labor unions, including collective bargaining negotiations, union avoidance campaigns, and the defense of unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Whether a company is facing a union organizing drive or managing an existing union relationship, the firm provides the strategic guidance needed to maintain a positive and controlled work environment.

Convenient Midtown Location

The firm’s office is located on South Columbia Avenue, near the intersection of 21st Street and Lewis Avenue in Midtown Tulsa. This central location makes it easily accessible for business clients throughout the metropolitan area. The office setting is professional and discreet.
