Our Labor & Employment team is proactive, focusing on resolving workplace issues before they become problems. We tailor the goals of every consultation with an eye toward minimizing the risks of litigation and future exposure. Our overarching objective is to help our clients avoid battles down the road.

Our attorneys often serve as outside general labor and employment counsel to both domestic and foreign-based businesses.
