I routinely litigate against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, defending clients in high-profile systemic cases, as well as class and collective actions under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and state wage hour laws. I successfully have defended a race pay and promotion class action against a significant not-for-profit; the largest gender pay and promotion case ever brought by the EEOC; the largest class pay and promotion class arbitration ever filed by the private plaintiffs' bar; Title III class litigation involving hundreds of stores for major retailers; and class actions involving independent insurance agents nationwide.I also have significant trial experience, including a multi-plaintiff race discrimination and harassment lawsuit litigated for nine weeks to verdict before a Detroit, Michigan jury; a multi-plaintiff sex harassment and retaliation lawsuit litigated to verdict before a Chicago, Illinois jury; a breach of contract lawsuit litigated to verdict before an Ann Arbor, Michigan jury; the first sexual orientation lawsuit tried to verdict in Illinois; and an unfair labor practice hearing wherein nearly 100 unfair labor practice charges were litigated to verdict over 48 hearing days in New York.I routinely represent clients in the financial industry and regularly litigate before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority achieving successful results, including a complete defense verdict in a FINRA arbitration where actual damages exceeded $50,000,000. In the union arena, I routinely provide legal advice to management and devote a portion of my practice to advising clients concerning labor and employment issues in mergers, sales, joint ventures, workforce reductions and other business restructuring matters.
