Labor & Employment Law

A passion for justice for all workers.  That’s what has driven us to become the recognized go-to law firm for unions and workers in Western New York—in union advocacy and employment-related claims.

No other area law firm can match our experience, resources and know-how in representing labor and laborers in Fair Labor Standards Act cases, complex employee discrimination litigation, organizing disputes, contract negotiations, harassment cases, and more.

Uniquely, we’re backed by deep in-house experience in other practice groups—Real Estate, Workers’ Compensation, Personal Injury, and Criminal Defense, for example—to give you seamless, coordinated legal representation when your needs expand or cases turn complex.

We know the issues and the players in construction and building trades claims, banking industry cases, collection agency disputes, government employer litigation, industrial union matters, and more.

For labor, we’ve

• Defended labor unions from parent-union takeovers.
• Fought in state and federal courts for union members’ right to picket.
• Aided corporate organizing campaigns.
• Won significant awards for union “salts” in salting cases.
• Represented unions in a spectrum of matters before the National Labor Relations Board, Public Employees Relations Board, and in state and federal courts.

  For employees, we’ve
