Non-Litigation Practice

In addition to the litigation practice, we provide ongoing advice and counsel to clients regarding the full range of employment practices, including collective bargaining negotiations, hiring, promotion and training practices, wage structure and benefits, primarily to non-profit organizations.

We advise several jointly administered Taft-Hartley trust funds regarding investments, personnel policies, benefit design and related matters before the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor.

We are currently consulting and advising numerous employees about legal aspects of problems encountered in the workplace, successfully negotiating amicable and mutually-beneficial separation agreements under which clients agreed to release potential claims in consideration of fair severance terms.

We represent high level executive employees in negotiations for individual Employment Agreements and Retirement and Severance Packages.
