The subject of how to fire someone with an eye on potential lawsuits starts when you first make the hire and employer/employee relations thereafter, while the employee is in your hire.
In brief: Do not discriminate. Be sure you are aware of legal hiring tenets. Also keep an employee manual that tells each employee his or her rights as well as obligations as an employee.
When you do the actual firing, give that employee written notice and reasons for the discharge. Be sure you have back-up evidence for your action. And I would suggest a witness attesting to that meeting and its procedure. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at twitter)
