We are particularly active in the financial, cultural, transportation, retailing, entertainment, professional sports, telecommunications, manufacturing, health care, publishing, philanthropic, governmental, and educational sectors.

On a daily and continuing basis, we provide advice and participate in strategic planning concerning all aspects of the employment relationship, including:

Our labor law experience is frequently sought in connection with corporate transactions, mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations and bankruptcy proceedings.
