Our Firm is recognized as a leader in the area of labor and employment law representing management. Clients benefit from our many years of experience in this continually changing and developing area. Our labor and employment attorneys are skilled litigators, many of whom are former federal judicial law clerks at the district and circuit court levels. Our attorneys are admitted in state and federal courts in Nebraska and in the United States Supreme Court. They are also admitted in a number of state and federal courts in this region and regularly handle trials and appeals in those courts. Our labor and employment attorneys regularly appear before administrative agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and similar state and local agencies nationwide. They have expertise in labor contract claims and wage disputes, employment discrimination, wrongful discharge actions, collective bargaining agreements, labor arbitration, union organization and labor issues, and represent both private and public employers. A substantial part of labor and employment work is preventive. Our attorneys conduct audits of personnel practices; present supervisory training; assist in the development of handbooks, policies, and affirmative action plans; and counsel clients daily as part of their decision-making process.
