The Lowenbaum Partnership labor and employment practice
counsels management clients in every aspect of labor and
employment law. The Lowenbaum Partnership is considered
to be one of the premier law firms both nationally and
regionally when it comes to labor and employment matters.
In the area of "traditional" labor relations, we have
worked with clients across the country in literally hundreds
of union organizing drives. Our clients have called upon
us to handle some of the most significant union organizing
drives in the United States involving hospitals, utilities
and many others. If a petition for union representation
or decertification is filed with the NLRB, TLP attorneys
work closely on or off-site with our client’s management
team throughout the election process to ensure compliance
with applicable law and to achieve the desired result.
Our lawyers also routinely represent clients both nationally
and regionlly in unfair labor practice proceedings before
the NLRB, and in hundreds of contract negotiations and
arbitrations.
In addition to traditional labor work, the firm has extensive
experience in all aspects of employment litigation, including
trial work, in cases arising under Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the
Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act,
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Family
and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Fair Labor Standards
Act, the WARN Act and other federal and state laws regulating
the workplace. Many of the attorneys also have extensive
experience defending clients against breach of contract
claims, wrongful discharge claims, covenant not to compete
issues and the ever-growing list of employment tort claims.
A hallmark of our labor and employment practice is our
ability to be pro-active in the areas of lawsuit avoidance
and preventive counseling. We routinely conduct comprehensive
employment audits to expose problem areas before they
become legal nightmares. Our management training seminars
equip supervisors to handle tough workplace issues. Our
attorneys routinely are called upon to prepare and review
employment policies and procedures manuals to ensure compliance
with federal and state laws. This combination of educating
supervisors on employment issues and giving employees
notice of company expectations results in very real cost
savings, as well as intangible personnel benefits.
