- Labor Law Counseling. We help employers develop and implement sophisticated and creative strategies for dealing with labor unions.
- Labor Dispute Resolution. Our Labor Relations lawyers have successfully defended clients in hundreds of NLRB hearings and unfair labor practice proceedings, and they have extensive experience handling matters before the National Mediation Board. Our Labor Relations team arbitrates, on average, 50 labor arbitrations per year and resolves myriad grievances and labor disputes, including strikes, picketing, protest activity, and property incursions.

We help employers negotiate and reform national, regional, and local collective bargaining agreements as well as resolve challenging, bet-the-company bargaining situations. Having dealt effectively with the most aggressive major labor unions, our team is on call to protect employer interests and operations.
- Union Organizing and Corporate Campaign Defense. Our Labor Relations attorneys work with employers to develop tactics to successfully defend against union organizing and corporate campaign initiatives. We devise effective solutions to avoid work stoppages caused by strikes and lockouts, and we advise employers on the dos and don’ts during these challenging circumstances.
- Workforce Strategy and Design. We help employers create a workforce infrastructure designed to advance important company initiatives, and we advise on labor relations issues that arise as workforces evolve through major restructurings such as mergers, acquisitions, spinoffs, and reductions-in-force.
