About

Provided by Kean Miller LLP

Kean Miller attorneys have more than 150 years of combined experience in labor and employment law. We represent some of the world’s largest corporations, regional companies, and local businesses.

We perform three main labor and employment services for clients: (1) preventive counseling and training, and assistance in drafting and revising employment policies, handbooks, and procedures; (2) defense of lawsuits and administrative proceedings; and (3) assistance in labor management (union) relations. Kean Miller’s practice is largely restricted to the representation of employers.

We handle employment discrimination, harassment, and retaliation cases (Title VII, age, disability, equal pay, state law) before the EEOC and state agencies, and courts. We try cases before juries and judges in federal and state court. In addition, we prepare drug policies and handle litigation associated with drug testing programs, draft personnel policies and employee manuals, and provide day-to-day advice on a wide range of employment matters. We assist our clients in the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements, advise clients on labor contract interpretation and the handling of grievances, and try labor arbitration cases. We handle injunction and NLRB cases arising out of strikes, picket line violence, secondary boycotts and jurisdictional disputes.
