I am the head of  Bleakley Platt's  Labor and Employment and Immigration Practice Groups. I have over 40 years' experience in representing and advising employers, employees, independent contractors and other clients with respect to labor, employment and immigration law issues. My background includes over 20 years of experience with Bleakley Platt, 14 years of experience with Skadden Arps, and more than 6 years of experience with Jackson Lewis.. I advise clients on a wide variety of labor and employment law issues involving employment terminations and discipline; unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation; wage and hour claims; employment agreements and job offer letters; non-competition and confidentiality agreements; separation and severance agreements;  unfair labor practice charges; union representation cases; and collective bargaining negotiations. I have acted as lead counsel for significant employment discrimination law cases, wage and hour actions, and non-competition cases, and in NLRB and PERB proceedings, mediations and arbitration hearings.. I also advise clients with respect to I-9 employment verification, visa work authorization, and immigration-related discrimination issues.. My articles on labor and employment law include my  seminal work on the employment-at-will rule entitled, "The Effect of the Employment-at-Will Rule on Employee Rights to Job Security and Fringe Benefits," 10 Fordham Urb.
