For over 40 years, Jackson Lewis has placed a high premium on preventive strategies and positive solutions in the practice of workplace law. We partner with employers to devise policies and procedures promoting constructive employee relations and limiting disputes.

When complaints arise, we work with clients to take incisive action to effect solutions that minimize costs and maximize results. Whether we are counseling on legal compliance or litigating a complex case, we help our clients achieve their business goals and promote an issue-free work environment.

With offices in major cities throughout the U.S. Jackson Lewis combines a national perspective with an awareness of local business environments. Our clients represent a wide range of public and private businesses and non-profit institutions. We are experienced in all aspects of workplace law:

• race, gender and age discrimination
  
• sexual harassment
  
• preventive labor relations
  
• union avoidance
  
• strikes
  
• collective bargaining
  
• grievance arbitration
  
• employee leaves
  
• pension and benefit administration
  
• immigration
  
• wage and hour
  
• independent contractors and contingent workers

• employee privacy
  
• disability rights
  
• workplace violence

When a client seeks counsel in any of these areas, we assign an experienced attorney to deliver the most effective representation. For clients with more than one location, we develop a multi-office team, which provides the advantages of local, as well as national, counsel. Heading the team is the "primary contact attorney" who is responsible for the overall coordination of services.
