Labor & Employment

For more than 60 years, our labor and employment team has advocated for employers in state and federal courts, before federal, state, and local agencies, and in arbitration and mediation. We offer strategic counseling and comprehensive representation on a full spectrum of workplace issues, from employment law compliance to organized labor. When litigation becomes necessary, we see it through to its most effective resolution, whether through alternative dispute resolution, arbitration, settlement, or trial, benchmarking our goals against yours and looking beyond a dispute to its long-term impact on your employees, your reputation and goodwill, and your business and operational objectives. With an interdisciplinary team that brings together strengths in litigation, IP, labor and employment, and privacy and information security, we help clients protect valuable information and aggressively defend them against related allegations. Our lawyers have broad experience asserting and defending cases involving misappropriation of trade secrets, restrictive covenants, employee raiding, customer raiding, and departures of key employees. Our decades of experience and up-to-the-minute understanding of evolving laws allows us to offer pragmatic, cost-effective, and solutions-oriented advice that helps you manage risks and avoid disputes before they start. We keep our clients’ business and operational goals front and center and provide bespoke answers and options, not academic legal analysis.
