Emily Litzinger understands the impact employment litigation can have on a business, and she partners with companies to minimize liability and reduce risk with preventative strategies focused on compliance, training, and the implementation of best practices.

When workplace disputes arise and litigation cannot be avoided, these same companies call on Emily to represent them throughout every phase of the adversarial process. She has defended employers in workplace conflicts over the past 12 years and has successfully represented large and small businesses in a wide range of disputes including non-competition, breach of contract, FMLA/ADA, wage and hour, sexual harassment and retaliation.

As a member of the Board of Directors for the Kentucky Restaurant Association, Emily is often tapped to speak and write about topics that impact the hospitality industry. She is known for her presentations on preventing workplace harassment and discrimination, conducting effective internal investigations and ensuring compliance with wage and hour practices.

As the mother of three energetic daughters, Emily is passionate about employee mental health and the advancement of women in both the legal profession and the workplace. She is regularly featured as a thought leader on these topics with appearances in Louisville Business First, Bizwomen, SHRM and The American Lawyer.
