/My focus

My practice focuses on advising and defending employers in all aspects of employment and labor litigation, including single-plaintiff and class and collective actions involving claims of wage and hour violations, harassment, discrimination, wrongful discharge, and retaliation, in federal and state courts and before administrative agencies.

I also counsel employers on day-to-day employment-related issues to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws, including advising clients on policies and procedures, leaves, wage and hour laws, and hiring and termination.

Employers trust me to perform due diligence reviews of labor and employment issues for mergers and acquisitions; draft and review employment contracts and separation agreements; train employees on discrimination, harassment, and retaliation prevention in the workplace; and conduct workplace investigations of allegations of employee misconduct.

/Looking ahead

There continues to be an evolving landscape regarding expansion of employees’ rights and protections in the workplace and legislation regarding same. These changes will impact employers, particularly those crossing state lines.
