Cozen O'Connor has strategically grown the labor and employment department in recent years, which now boasts nearly 80 attorneys throughout North America who offer the full range of labor and employment law services to a broad spectrum of public and private sector employers. We represent management in every type of labor, employment, and employment related litigation before state and federal courts, administrative agencies, and arbitrators. We have extensive experience representing employers in individual and large-scale class actions involving the full range of employment related disputes, including discrimination, harassment, wage and hour violations, non-compete agreements, and unfair labor practices, including those alleging unlawful termination, failure to bargain in good faith, and interference with employee rights. Collectively, our lawyers have negotiated thousands of collective bargaining agreements and have tried thousands of labor arbitrations involving every issue that could conceivably arise under a labor agreement, including contract interpretation cases implicating tens of millions of dollars.
Our Labor & Employment Department comprises outstanding practitioners with years of experience. Our attorneys have been commended by independent legal observers for their “outstanding client service” and identified as some of the “most prominent employment defense attorneys” in the country.
