Labor and Employment

Day Pitney provides comprehensive, client-focused legal and business solutions for employers, including Fortune 100 companies in industries from telecommunications to financial services to manufacturing.  We represent clients regionally and nationally in labor, employment, and benefits matters.  Building on a 75-year tradition, our lawyers help employers achieve practical solutions for all workplace-related legal issues, including:

• Class and collective actions
• Wage and hour practices and disputes
• Discrimination claims
• Management-union relations
• Training for managerial and other employees
• Whistleblower litigation
• Health and safety of employees and contractors
• Employee benefits, including plan design and compliance
• Internal investigations
• Immigration

We serve clients' needs throughout the United States and worldwide through our participation in the Employment Law Alliance (“ELA”), the world's most extensive network of labor and employment lawyers.

Because preventing claims is often the most effective means of meeting our clients’ needs, we advise on all aspects of preventive employee relations to devise proactive strategies to comply with a myriad of constantly evolving federal and state laws regulating the workplace.  When disputes do occur, our team has an outstanding trial record defending state and federal lawsuits as well as claims at governmental agencies. 

Additionally, we regularly offer seminars providing legal updates and practical guidance for addressing workplace issues and publish the Employer’s Law Blog (www.employerslawblog.com), a one-stop resource for court opinions, legislation, and news at the federal, state, and local level.
