• Represent clients in federal and state courts and before administrative agencies, including the EEOC, NLRB, Department of Labor, OSHA, and related regulatory bodies.

• Draft, review, and implement employment agreements, executive agreements, separation agreements, handbooks, policies, and workplace procedures.
• Deliver management training, employment audits, compliance reviews, and proactive risk-assessment programs designed to reduce litigation exposure.
• Advise employers on emerging workforce issues involving immigration-related employment compliance and workforce mobility, either directly or in collaboration with specialized immigration counsel.
• Identify and coordinate ERISA-related considerations that arise within broader employment matters while working alongside specialized benefits counsel when appropriate.
• Advise employers and insurance carriers on Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) matters, including pre-litigation strategy, claim management, and defense coordination.
