James Holahan Email & Phone Number

I am a Labor and Employment Law attorney, and my clients span the full gamut of private and public sector employers: from a multi-national automotive manufacturer to a small municipality with multiple collective bargaining units and from a large and organizationally complex not-for-profit agency to a cluster of family-owned proprietary nursing homes. I focus my practice on three common employer needs: first, the duty to comply with the ever-changing and increasingly complex web of federal, state and local laws and regulations; second, the need for employers to be more than compliant, that is, to be tactical from a people resource standpoint; and, third, the need to vigorously prosecute and defend labor relations and employment claims as necessary or strategic. Advisor - I regularly consult with clients about the application and implementation of the laws regulating the employment relationship, for example, the federal and state wage and hour laws, the federal, state and local laws prohibiting discrimination and harassment, the FMLA and similar laws regulating leaves of absence, and the laws regulating the legality and enforceability of restrictive covenants that restrain unfair competition and protect trade secrets and confidential information. Problem Solver - Addressing workplace issues and problems is rarely a linear, straight-forward process. I regularly assist clients to identify and define the workplace problem, to develop alternative scenarios for addressing that problem, and then to choose and, as necessary, adjust a course of responsive action. Litigator - I represent and defend employers before the courts and various administrative agencies when workplace issues turn to litigation.To the extent that this online profile might be considered attorney advertising, then readers should be reminded that each case is unique and that prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
