Brian aids companies in defending against union organizing campaigns – from single site campaigns to nationwide corporate campaigns – by developing overall campaign strategy, preventing disruptive picketing and preparing appropriate proactive actions. He also assists organizations (including multiemployer bargaining associations) in negotiating collective bargaining agreements in a wide array of industries, including real estate, construction, retail and not-for-profit. Brian tries arbitrations and litigations arising from collective bargaining relationships, including grievance arbitrations, hearings before the National Labor Relations Board and federal court injunction litigations.

In addition to handling the various aspects of employment litigation, he regularly provides advice and guidance to clients, counseling them on how to avoid litigation and achieve their business objectives through proactive human resources practices.
