About the author:
Cozen O’Connor’s Labor & Employment Group consists of a dedicated team that takes a comprehensive view of workplace problems while drawing on the firm’s deep litigation talent. The result is a unique ability to provide sound, practical advice supported by the litigation resources necessary to solve complex and time-sensitive workplace problems.
Addressing workplace problems
Attorneys in the group have broad-based experience in the resolution of workplace problems, acting as advisors to in-house corporate counsel, human resources professionals, and business executives in developing sound and effective policies. The group’s attorneys help clients structure their personnel policies and business transactions to enhance productivity, comply with legal requirements, and avoid litigation. Cozen O’Connor’s workplace audit offers clients an opportunity to receive experienced and practical guidance on a wide range of employment issues.
When trouble arises, we can help
Although preventive measures and planning can be extremely useful in eliminating liability or reducing exposure, even the best workplace policies cannot eliminate administrative investigations and claims. Cozen O’Connor’s labor and employment attorneys bring decades of experience in representing employers before federal agencies such as the EEOC, NLRB, OSHA, Department of Labor, and various state antidiscrimination agencies.
They are routinely called upon to provide trial and appellate support in all types of claims, such as age, race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual harassment, and disability discrimination; defamation; invasion of privacy; noncompetition agreements; duty-of-loyalty claims; equal-pay disputes; employment benefits disputes; pension and benefit plan fiduciary liability; and wage-and-hour, whistle-blower and wrongful-discharge claims.
The firm’s attorneys bring considerable experience in dealing with the NLRB and guiding a company's election campaign. They also are experienced in helping employers evaluate and implement alternative labor-management relationships. And they are adept at negotiating collective bargaining agreements, defending agreement terms in arbitration proceedings, responding to unfair labor practice charges, dealing with work stoppages and mass picketing. In addition, the firm’s attorneys are experienced at helping clients promote their business interests while still maintaining a working relationship with their workforce, unionized or not.
