Our Labor Management Relations Group has represented industry-leading organizations in the private, non-profit, and public sectors since the early twentieth century. That history helps us solve complex traditional labor problems and help clients find practical, business-aligned solutions to labor issues.

As a leading group of labor relations practitioners, we advise on every aspect of the labor-management relationship. We counsel employers with unionized, partially unionized, and non-union workforces. We guide employers on preventive labor relations and the potential for union organizing from the outset through secret-ballot elections and beyond.

At our core, we are negotiators. We lead collective bargaining negotiations, draft contract language, and advise on contract administration matters, including grievances.  Whether handling a routine contract renewal or a sensitive, high-profile dispute, we provide the strategic support clients need to achieve their objectives.

We also regularly litigate the full range of labor-management issues in public forums, including the National Labor Relations Board and federal and state courts, and in private labor arbitration for contract disputes.

Our legal skill, practical understanding of both management and labor positions, and the respect we have earned on both sides help us achieve the results our clients need.
