HR keeps a file on you.
Keep one on yourself.
Employers have always maintained personnel files on their employees and presented those records as the sole source of truth in employment matters. Employees now have receipts.
In 2025, the EEOC secured $660 million for workers. A record $528 million of it was recovered before anyone filed a lawsuit, even as the number of suits the agency brought fell to a ten-year low.
The place where workplace disputes get resolved has moved out of the courtroom and into the record. What a worker can show, and when they wrote it down, increasingly decides the outcome. Counterfile is built for exactly that shift.

N. Lucy Chukwurah has practiced labor and employment law for more than twenty-two years, across private firms, corporate legal departments, and boutique employment practices. She began at a Fortune 10 corporation, defending labor and employment class actions for one of the largest employers in the country, and has represented every side of the workplace since, from national businesses to individual employees.
Her range runs past the employment statutes into the commercial questions that sit beside them: contracts, restrictive covenants, trade secrets, and the high-stakes disputes where the two meet. A certified mediator admitted before the Fifth Circuit, she built her practice on a single conviction, that most workplace matters are better settled before they harden into a docket number. Counterfile is that conviction turned into a product, a lawyer’s documentation discipline placed in the hands of the person who needs it most, before they ever need a lawyer.
