About

Provided by GrayRobinson, PA

At GrayRobinson, we partner with employers to navigate the constantly evolving landscape of labor and employment law with clarity, confidence, and strategic foresight. From day-to-day guidance to high-stakes litigation, we help clients manage complex workforce challenges in a way that aligns with their culture, goals, and risk tolerance.

We understand employment law is about more than compliance—it’s about people, relationships, and reputations. That’s why we focus on building long-term trust and integrating seamlessly into client operations. Whether advising on policy development, conducting internal investigations, or defending claims in state and federal courts, we approach every matter with discretion, professionalism, and a commitment to results.

Our team includes board-certified attorneys and seasoned litigators with decades of experience across public and private sectors. We represent clients in disputes involving discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour violations, non-competes, whistleblower claims, and ADA and FMLA issues. We regularly defend claims under Title VII, the FLSA, the NLRA, and other key statutes. We are particularly skilled at managing union relations, responding to regulatory inquiries, and resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Our priority is protecting workplace integrity while helping clients adapt to the demands of a modern workforce.
