Labor & Employment

Balch & Bingham's Labor & Employment practice handles the full range of matters for a diverse client base across the country. The group regularly handles complex class and collective actions, union collective bargaining and NLRB proceedings, wage and hour litigation, ADA Title III matters, and disputes involving restrictive covenants, executive compensation, and employee mobility.

The practice has meaningful experience across a number of regulated industries, including healthcare, where attorneys handle employment litigation and labor relations; financial services, where the group advises institutions on multi-jurisdictional matters; higher education, where the team defends institutions and counsels on Title IX compliance; and energy and utilities, where attorneys cover the full spectrum from traditional labor and OSHA matters to internal investigations and litigation.

The group also maintains a strong business competition practice, representing clients in trade secret disputes, non-compete enforcement, and matters involving departing employees and executives. Industries served include manufacturing, food service, healthcare, financial services, and transportation.
