About

Provided by Genova Burns LLC

Genova Burns was founded 35 years ago as an employment and labor boutique law firm by Angelo J. Genova and James M. Burns. Even as the firm has grown to become one of the preeminent full-service firms in New Jersey, employment litigation remains one of its most recognized, successful and prestigious practices. 

The department handles an extraordinary array of complex employment litigation matters on behalf of management in both the private and public sectors in the trial and appellate courts.

The employment litigation team has tried numerous state and federal high-stakes, multi-plaintiff cases. Cases we have handled involve Fair Labor Standard Acts matters; claims of age, race, sex, sexual orientation, disability, gender identification and expression and race discrimination; wage and hour; personnel policies; hostile work environment; restrictive covenants; trade secrets; noncompetition and nondisclosure agreements; breach of employment contracts; whistleblower; partnership disputes; wrongful termination; retaliation and other forms of workplace statutory and tort litigation.
