Labor & Employment Litigation

We represent companies across industries in the high‑stakes labor and employment litigation and government investigations that threaten their finances, brands, and reputations. We combine deep trial strength with appellate and investigative experience to successfully defend employers in class and collective actions, nationwide enforcement matters, and executive‑level disputes. 

Our team serves leading U.S.-based multinational public and private companies and institutions facing complex, company-critical employment challenges. We regularly handle employment discrimination class and collective actions, systemic workplace investigations, and disputes with senior officers that put corporate leadership and reputation at risk. We are particularly well known for handling brand‑threatening, nationwide litigation and investigations brought by governmental agencies alleging systemic violations of federal law, including matters tied to controversial and politicized national and state policy issues, such as allegations involving DEI programs, that can lead to parallel criminal, civil, and regulatory proceedings. 

We guide clients through every stage of these matters – from investigations through trial and appeal – drawing on the combined capabilities of seasoned trial and appellate lawyers. Our practice includes representation in U.S. Supreme Court litigation, where our employment and appellate team secured a decision recognized as one of the most important employment law rulings in recent years. We also advise on and litigate issues involving trade secrets and confidential information, including drafting and enforcing agreements to protect sensitive business assets and pursuing or defending litigation when misappropriation occurs.
