Employment Litigation

When it comes to employment-related litigation, the best lawsuit is the one never filed – hence our significant focus on the advice and counsel side of our relationship with our clients. When litigation is unavoidable, however, we put our many years of experience to work to defend employers in virtually every type of judicial, administrative, and arbitral forum, including federal and state court, administrative hearings, arbitrations, and NLRB proceedings. Our team regularly handles disputes ranging from thorny single-plaintiff cases to bet-the-company class actions with equal effectiveness and efficiency. Our approach is guided by:

  • Early evaluation of the merits and corresponding risks of the claim.

  • Consideration of early resolution where justified.

  • Focus on efficiency and cost control.

  • Partnering with clients to ensure effective communication and coordination of all key decisions.

  • Post-case analysis to identify “lessons learned” and improve go-forward employment processes and practices.
