About

Provided by Kelley Drye & Warren LLP

We provide answers and options, not formulaic or academic legal analyses. We provide strategic counseling and comprehensive representation on the full spectrum of workplace issues, including counseling and compliance, litigation and traditional labor. As one client puts it, our team is “knowledgeable, responsive, keeps up to date on current [employment] matters, engaging, [and] informative.” Our work has been firmly anchored for more than 60 years in a comprehensive and up-to-the-minute understanding of employment and labor relations law. We pass that expertise on to our clients in the form of pragmatic, cost-effective, solutions-oriented advice that solves problems before they start.


However, when litigation becomes necessary, we see it through to its most effective resolution, whether through alternative dispute resolution, arbitration, settlement, or trial. We represent employers in every form of employment litigation, benchmarking our own goals against our clients’. With an impressive record of success earned over years, our attorneys look beyond the conclusion of a dispute to its long-term impact on their employees, reputation, good will, and business and operational objectives.
