Partner & Chair of Labor & Employment Department and Co-Chair of Luxury Brands Practice at Morrison Cohen LLP

I am Co-Chair of Morrison Cohen LLP's Labor & Employment Department and a partner in the Compensation and Benefits and Litigation Departments. I have over two decades of employment experience representing luxury brands, retail, institutional clients, hedge funds, and various other businesses and senior level executives in a wide range of employment litigation matters, including state and federal court actions based on claims of discrimination, constructive discharge, breach of contract, misclassification of employees and wage and hour violations; and representing employers in administrative and agency proceedings (including before the EEOC, the U.S. Department of Labor, and state and local Human Rights and Labor agencies). I have handled numerous arbitrations before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and other arbitration forums for, among other claims, wrongful discharge, breach of contract, promissory estoppel, tortious interference, quantum meruit and unjust enrichment, and violations of state labor law on behalf of companies and senior level executives. I have also handled various Form U5 expungement and promissory note cases before FINRA. I have litigated various matters involving restrictive covenants and other employee loyalty related claims in state and federal courts throughout the country. I also routinely counsel and negotiate on behalf of management and senior executives with respect to employment agreements and separation arrangements, as well as with respect to anticipated litigation arising out of the business and employment relationship. I have authored several articles on various employment law issues. Prior to joining Morrison Cohen LLP, I was Senior Counsel at Lowenstein Sandler PC, Counsel at Dickstein Shapiro LLP and an Associate at Liddle & Robinson, L.L.P. Specialties: Employment Law
