I help employers deal with employee problems. I also counsel them on their rights and how best to assert them in the workplace. I advise on policy development and help employers understand their obligations under various contracts and employment laws.

When claims are made, I defend employers in lawsuits filed by employees or unions. Such cases usually involve claims of employment discrimination, but may involve other claims as well. I represent employers in arbitrations alleging violations of labor contracts. I handle such labor-management issues as unfair labor practices, collective bargaining negotiations, and organizing campaigns.

For some clients I serve as their contact with our firm and help them find the right attorney to deal with other types of legal problems. This occasionally includes linking them with other Meritas law firms worldwide.

I tend to take a strategic perspective on employee problems. I take a pragmatic approach to issues and always strive to be a problem solver.
