Cozen O'Connor has strategically grown the labor and employment department in recent years, which now boasts nearly 80 attorneys throughout North America who offer the full range of labor and employment law services to a broad spectrum of public and private sector employers. We represent management in every type of labor, employment, and employment related litigation before state and federal courts, administrative agencies, and arbitrators. We have extensive experience representing employers in individual and large-scale class actions involving the full range of employment related disputes, including discrimination, harassment, wage and hour violations, non-compete agreements, and unfair labor practices, including those alleging unlawful termination, failure to bargain in good faith, and interference with employee rights.

Our Illinois lawyers represent many of the nation’s largest employers in agribusiness, financial services, manufacturing, insurance, real estate, and higher education. We represent Chicago’s most prestigious public and private universities, achieving successful results on tenure cases in employment litigation, NLRB proceedings relating to student and faculty organizing drives, staff, trades, and police collective bargaining, and student litigation.
