About

Provided by Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP

Labor

Nutter was one of the first major Boston law firms to establish a traditional labor practice. As a leader in the field, we advise many employers on a wide range of labor-management issues. Our lawyers represent both private and public sector labor clients, including educational institutions, health care providers, transportation companies, retail operations, manufacturers, energy providers, and media operations.

Employment

Our lawyers continuously consult with our clients about employment-related issues, and proactively seek methods and strategies for clients to reduce legal risk and avoid unnecessary and costly litigation. When required, however, we represent our clients on employment-related litigation matters and have a proven track record of success in such litigation.
