Barry focuses a significant share of his litigation practice on the defense of complex wage and hour claims, including collective actions under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and class actions under the laws of many different states. He maintains an active trial practice and has considerable experience in jury and bench trials of wage cases and other employment disputes. Barry is a member of the firm’s Pay Equity group and oversees pay equity reviews designed to identify and remedy disparities based on protected classifications. Barry has also successfully represented management against all types of discrimination and harassment claims, including under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and analogous state laws. Barry also provides counseling and compliance advice to employers on a wide variety of employment-related legal issues, including employee compensation, accommodation of disabled employees, workplace investigations, reductions in force, and terminations of employees in sensitive situations. His counseling work focuses not only on identifying employment practices that comply with the law, but also the design of solutions that maximize an employer’s flexibility in managing its business.
