As a partner in Sheppard Mullin's New York office, I litigate and arbitrate cases in federal and state courts and before the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the American Arbitration Association (AAA). I have successfully defended against organizing campaigns, represented employers in collective bargaining and defended against NLRB proceedings.I work with human resource professionals, management and in-house counsel to provide consultation, advice and training on all matters having labor and employment implications, including legal compliance issues, employee performance management, reductions-in-force and facility closings, employment contracts and union awareness.
