The Labor and Employment Law practice is headed by senior partner, Richard J. Koehler, who brings to the practice over 25 years of labor relations experience.
This practice provides general counsel services for both private and public sector unions, their officers, trustees, directors and other union officials. These services include providing counsel on collective bargaining, grievances, contract administration, arbitrations, organizing, strikes, picketing, and unfair labor practices. The group’s eight attorneys are well versed in practicing before the National Labor Relations Board, Joint Trade Committees, the New York City Office of Labor Relations, Office of Collective Bargaining and New York State Public Employee Relations Board, as well as in State and Federal Courts. Counsel is also provided to both public and private sector pension and welfare funds.
Additionally, our labor and employment attorneys represent employees in a wide range of areas, including family/medical leave, severance agreements, whistle blower cases, pension rights, and employment discrimination law. Employment discrimination includes opposing unlawful practices such as age, disability, gender, race, sexual preference, national origin and religious discrimination and sexual harassment. |
