About

Provided by Gentry Locke Attorneys

Gentry Locke’s Employment & Labor group helps companies solve their “people problems.” Since these problems come in all shapes and sizes and can be exceedingly complex, experience is essential.

Group Chair Todd Leeson oversees a legal team known for giving candid, realistic assessments and creative solutions. Our clients have come to rely on the commonsense approach that we take to resolving problems in today’s increasingly litigious society. We anticipate issues before they happen and provide counsel to minimize risk, and when disputes occur, we serve as dedicated advocates for our clients’ positions.

Our labor law attorneys steadfastly believe that businesses are better off if they remain union-free. We regularly represent businesses faced with union organizing campaigns and initiatives. In so doing, we strive to ensure that our clients oppose the union using lawful means and strategies. We also have substantial experience representing employers on unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).


Our clients who own or operate companies appreciate that we are accessible, cost-effective, and driven to completely serve their needs.
