The costs associated with managing a workforce in today's business environment have grown exponentially. Employers of all sizes are subject to complex Federal and State laws that frame and impact decisions and policies related to employees, increasing the risks associated with taking action in the absence of proper legal guidance.

The attorneys in our Labor and Employment practice group represent management exclusively, large employers, serving entrepreneurs, and not-for-profit and public sector entities including colleges, human services agencies, school districts, cities, towns, villages, counties and public authorities. We assist clients in union and non-union settings in a wide variety of industries including heavy and light manufacturing, service, wholesale and retail.

Serving as strategic advisors to senior executives during acquisition and downsizing, we provide counsel related to wage/hour and benefits issues and assist in the development of corporate employee policies, procedures and handbooks. On a day to day basis we provide guidance to human resource and business unit managers on the many different laws encompassing employees' rights. Our goals are to help our clients create and maintain a positive human relations environment in their workplace, and support them in anticipating and preventing employment problems, as well as assisting them to resolve current issues. Should the need for litigation counsel arise, our team is prepared to handle a full range of employment-related litigation matters, in all agencies and courts. If your company operates in a union environment, our labor and employment attorneys are seasoned advisors in the areas of collective bargaining, administration of collective bargaining agreements, grievance and arbitration proceedings.
