My practice focuses on defending companies in both federal and state courts in various industries, including manufacturing, retail, government contracting, utilities, service companies, distribution companies and security. My litigation practice has included class actions and collective actions, general labor and employment, executive disputes, whistleblower claims, government contractor compliance, employee mobility disputes, and wage and hour litigation. I also advises clients on all aspects of employment law, including wage and hour practices, whistleblowers, trade secret and confidential information protection in relation to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, leave policies, reductions in force, labor relations, flu vaccination policies, and FMLA and ADA compliance and administration.One of my primary practice areas involves advising federal government contractors and subcontractors on the unique employment, affirmative action and other compliance issues that arise in the government contracts sphere. Some examples of this include: developing and implementing policies and programs; conducting internal audits and investigations; preparing affirmative action plans; advising contractors and subcontractors with respect to all aspects of Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), Service Contract Act (SCA), and Davis-Bacon Act compliance; and defending clients during OFCCP and Department of Labor audits and enforcement proceedings.I am also a regular contributor to Proskauer’s Government Contractor Compliance & Regulatory Update blog, where I publish on recent developments.**Not yet admitted to the Illinois Bar; Illinois practice supervised by Partners and Senior Counsel licensed to practice law in Illinois
