Labor Law
Our representation of more than three dozen of the most prominent local and national labor unions has made us the preeminent union-side labor law firm in New York. We represent unions in virtually every industry--health care, construction, transportation, newspaper publishing, package delivery, hospitality, communications, distribution, manufacturing and retail food--as well as such public sector unions as fire fighters, police officers and teachers.

Often working closely with both our government relations and our employment practice and, if need be, our litigation team, our labor group provides clients with the experience and negotiating skills to navigate difficult and often frustrating political, management and legislative issues.

Our clients tap into a vast reservoir of expertise. Our team of labor attorneys comprises a former New York City deputy mayor for labor relations, a New York State commissioner of labor and others from the top echelons of state and federal government. Also on board are former general counsel to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, former general counsel of the United Auto Workers and a former attorney for the National Labor Relations Board.

Our labor attorneys, frequently sought for their expert commentary, have been interviewed by such publications as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and have appeared on national television and radio.
