About Chris Cavaliere

Focusing on labor & employment law, I proactively partner with businesses throughout the country to help them navigate the daily workplace challenges of today’s business world. When preventative strategies are not enough, I also strategically represent businesses in employment-related disputes and litigation. Whatever the workplace issue, I ensure the best team is assembled to serve the client’s specific needs. I take pride in partnering with management and human resources departments for companies of all sizes. I provide practical solutions and training on multi-state workplace issues relating to hiring and firing, background checks, employee handbooks, compensation, overtime, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, unpaid wages, non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements, confidentiality agreements, and more. I began my legal career as a criminal prosecutor, during which time I tried more than 20 jury trials. Outside of my legal practice, I serve in a variety of leadership positions within the community. I currently serve as the Immediate Past President of HR Tampa, one of the nation’s largest and most active SHRM chapters. I also serve on the Board of Directors for NeuroShifts (formerly known as Autism Shifts), an organization devoted to helping families in the neurodiverse community. When I am not serving clients or the community, I can be found enjoying my time with my beautiful (and brilliant!) wife and children.
