About

Provided by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP

While many Chambers-ranked firms provide employment counseling and litigation, our New York group is unusual in its ability to provide the full spectrum of employment services, including employee benefits and immigration, as well as the negotiation of high-stakes, high-value executive employment agreements. Each team member provides a different skill set; for instance, one of our attorneys practiced as a commercial litigator prior to moving to employment law and, thus, approaches employment litigation from a different perspective.

Additionally, our New York team boasts attorneys with strong labor practices, including advising clients on union avoidance and work stoppages, negotiating collective bargaining agreements, and representing them during grievance arbitrations and NLRB proceedings.
Collaborative Team. 

Our New York team values and rewards cooperation, coordination, and delegation. Our attorneys regularly engage in collaborative brainstorming for clients and avoid the political frictions seen in other firms. Rather than competing with one another, they work together to ensure that all attorneys on the team are continually enhancing their skills and experience to provide the highest caliber legal services. Our clients benefit from this mindset by having access to a comprehensive team – ensuring diversity of thought when providing advice and allowing for maximum coverage with a minimum of service transition if one member of the team is unavailable.
