Even in the best business environment, claims can arise and disputes ensue. If you are facing employment-related claims, including litigation, our team can help.
The most critical time to seek counsel in employment and labor matters is before problems occur, when policies and procedures need to be developed and implemented. However, when disputes arise, UB Greensfelder’s employment and labor attorneys use their extensive experience trying and defending claims at all administrative and judicial levels and venues to resolve these disputes in our clients’ best interest.
Who We Are
Our employment and labor attorneys are experienced litigators who have successfully defended clients in a variety of disputes. Additionally, our labor and employment attorneys work closely with the firm’s immigration, intellectual property, and ERISA attorneys, among others, to provide a full spectrum of employment and labor counseling to meet your organization’s needs.
How We Help
We represent employers facing charges of discrimination filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and state agencies and in lawsuits filed in state and federal courts.

Why Clients Choose UB Greensfelder
Our goal is to bring the client’s case to a successful resolution. We have successfully defended employers in state and federal courts in lawsuits alleging discrimination and harassment based on age, race, color, national origin, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and other protected characteristics. In some cases, mediation is a viable alternative to litigation or a necessary step in the litigation process, and we regularly represent employers in mediations to pursue a resolution or settlement.
