Overview

Drawing on our extensive experience in litigation and arbitration across the globe, we excel at staying one step ahead of the competition.  

Our capabilities and success has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America, Chambers, U.S. News-Best Law Firms, Euromoney’s Guide to the World’s Leading Experts, the Who’s Who Legal series, Super Lawyers, and Human Resource Executive and Lawdragon.

We offer employers the depth and array of services they would find at a labor and employment boutique, coupled with the high-quality proficiency and additional specialties of a full-service international law firm. 

In addition to specialized litigation and arbitration, we represent clients in all matters pertaining to their employment by providing them with strategic counsel and services that minimize, if not altogether avoid, disruptive and costly legal action. Our recent results include obtaining summary judgment for a financial institution in a sexual harassment lawsuit, obtaining an injunction in an unfair competition case for a hair salon chain, defeat of injunction applications in an unfair competition case for a medical device company, dismissal of an employment defamation suit against a Dutch hedge fund, and winning summary judgment in a long-running race and age discrimination suit for a legal aid provider.

Fueled by passion, we are totally committed to giving our clients individualized service and we are well-equipped to meet all their needs because every member of our team is well-versed in the full range of employment law issues.  

As a full-service firm, we also provide a broader range of additional capabilities clients cannot find at a boutique. In today’s climate, most labor and employment matters touch on various other areas of law, such as intellectual property, tax and employee benefits. When these issues arise, we have lawyers in all of these areas readily available to provide timely, efficient and specialized service. 

Preventing litigation is always our first line of defense; however, when the courtroom cannot be avoided, our litigators’ knowledge and experience in federal, state and local law has led to an unsurpassed record of success.
