Our team provides comprehensive representation to clients throughout the nation.

When litigation is the path, our team offers extensive skill and experience in litigation to best represent our clients’ interests.
Members of the McGlinchey Labor and Employment team advise on the full range of workplace issues and employment disputes facing private and public companies. We provide counseling and training to enable our clients’ human resources and legal departments to meet regulatory compliance obligations, to forestall and mitigate disputes, and to handle the many and varied day-to-day operational situations which, if unattended, can ensnare even award-winning employers.
We advise management and train human resources personnel on their statutory obligations in a number of routine areas such as privacy, leaves of absence, background checks, and workers’ compensation.
We also work side-by-side with employers to address more complex issues, including policy planning, employment agreements, FCRA issues, regulatory compliance, employee benefits, and more.
