The employment lawyers at Meyer Suozzi are skilled in handling problems involving complex human relations issues and legal questions. Our in-depth knowledge and broad experience enable us to find creative solutions to difficult employment issues that are often emotionally charged, on behalf of employers of all sizes – from Fortune 500 companies to small family-owned businesses, charitable organizations and financial institutions.

Our goal is to achieve cost-effective resolutions that meet our clients’ objectives. When negotiated resolution is not possible, we vigorously pursue those objectives through mediation, administrative proceedings and litigation.

The firm provides counsel on a full spectrum of employment law-related issues, engages in all aspects of employment-related litigation before state and federal courts and administrative agencies, and regularly handles mediations and arbitrations. As recognized leaders in this field, we frequently are asked by the media and professional organizations to comment on such topics as wage and hour violations, workplace discrimination and sexual harassment.
