I solve employers' problems.More specifically, I defend employers against claims pertaining to all forms of employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wrongful discharge, wage and hour claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state analogs, and disputes over compensation and severance. I have also practiced before federal and state courts, arbitrators and administrative agencies, and have experience with all phases of litigation, including pre-action investigation, pleadings, discovery, motion practice, trial, and settlement negotiations.I also advise clients on a variety of employment-related matters, including, but not limited to, compliance with the FLSA and state wage and hour laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and state leave statutes, and the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) Act and other regulations governing layoffs and terminations. I have additional experience drafting complex employment agreements, severance agreements, workplace policies and safety regulations, assessing and implementing reasonable accommodations to employees who require the same, and conducting workplace investigations and internal trainings. I have also represented and counseled employers in connection with their existing collective bargaining relationships with labor organizations.I am licensed to practice in Ohio and New York.
