Provided by Bracewell LLP
Bracewell houses one of the largest labor and employment practices in the Southwest. The practice works alongside a number of others within the firm to better serve our clients. For instance, Bracewell’s labor and employment section has been intimately involved with the firm’s corporate practice in major M&A transactions, as well as in dealing with potential and actual criminal proceedings that have involved major labor and employment issues. These are some examples of collaboration with other practice groups on increasingly complicated and interrelated issues involving labor and employment.
Bracewell’s labor and employment lawyers have considerable experience with collective bargaining and organizing union issues. This experience is timely since union organizing efforts have increased since the current administration took office in the United States. In turn, we have witnessed an increased number of labor disputes and collective bargaining negotiations.
