"Heather will be an outstanding office leader," said Day Pitney Managing Partner Stanley A. Twardy, Jr. "She is an excellent lawyer who has earned the respect of the lawyers and staff in Parsippany."
In her new role, Brochin will be responsible for promoting the office's capabilities within the firm, supporting the local partners and their needs, establishing a positive work environment and coordinating local community involvement.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to take on this leadership role," said Brochin. "I look forward to raising the profile of our legal capabilities within New Jersey. I am excited to work with our excellent team of lawyers and staff to reaffirm our commitment to client service in the Parsippany office."

She represents clients in state and federal courts as well as before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and state human rights commissions. Heather regularly advises employers with respect to a broad range of personnel issues, including hiring, termination, reductions in force, employment discrimination, unlawful harassment, restrictive covenants, wage and hour issues, internal investigations, executive compensation, personnel policies, disability, and leave. Heather also has substantial experience negotiating and drafting employment and separation agreements on behalf of both companies and individuals and conducting trainings for employers on various employment law issues.
