The entirety of my legal practice has concentrated on representing management in labor and employment matters. I regularly services clients on a wide range of employment/labor matters, including, but not limited to: individual, class and collective wage and hour cases; discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims; leaves of absence; domestic violence issues impacting the workplace; disability accommodation; whistleblower claims; unfair competition matters; public and private sector arbitration; employment counseling; drafting and reviewing employment policies, employment agreements, separation agreements, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, and consulting agreements; and preparing severance plans and related exit program documents for reorganizations.

I represent employers in a broad range of labor and employment issues, including traditional labor law. I defend cases before arbitrators and federal/state courts, and I represent employers in administrative agency proceedings, including state and federal departments of labor, the EEOC, and analogous state agencies. On a daily basis, I counsel employers on important employment issues that arise in the workplace. That counseling also includes providing managment and non-management training. I lecture on the following topics: Title VII, ADA, ADEA, and FMLA compliance, wage and hour issues, federal and state department of labor audits, and the Family and Medical Leave Act.
