Our employment advisors, litigators and labor relations attorneys provide counseling and dispute resolution services across the full spectrum of labor and employment law. We work with employers throughout the U.S. to ensure compliance and avoid disputes by providing practical counseling and training. Should litigation or other employment-related disputes arise, we provide a vigorous, thorough and well-reasoned defense with the goal of meeting business objectives at a reasonable cost. Our Washington labor and employment team stands out for the depth and breadth of our traditional labor law practice. This includes the full range of traditional labor from campaigns to elections to collective bargaining to NLRB proceedings, arbitrations, and dispute resolution. We:

• Defend and represent employers in all aspects of labor and employment law, including class and collective wage and hour actions as well as multi-plaintiff and individual disputes involving discrimination, non-competition, labor/management disputes, wrongful termination, retaliation, defamation, and breach of contract claims.
• Litigate cases in state and federal courts as well as various government agencies (EEOC, DOL, NLRB, etc.). 
• Represent management before the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) in all aspects of union-management relations.
• Conduct workplace investigations. 
• Offer in-depth knowledge of deal negotiation and documentation; intellectual property protection, including non-compete enforcement and defense.
