LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE

The Firm specializes in employment and labor litigation on behalf of employees.  Firm attorneys have worked on a diverse variety of employment cases, including cases involving race, gender and age discrimination, ERISA, breach of contract claims, and wage/hour claims. For instance, the Firm and its attorneys were Co-Lead Counsel in Marks v. ACCU Personnel, Inc. et al. (Sup. Ct., Camden Cty., N.J.), a successful employment discrimination action against a large temporary placement agency which was alleged to place minority employees in lower paying positions than Caucasian employees.  The Firm was Lead Counsel in Russell v. Howell (U.S.D.C., E.D. TN), achieving a multi-million dollar ERISA recovery for class members where the price of their ESOP stock was alleged to have been driven down improperly by company management, and is Co-Lead Counsel in Levine v. United Healthcare Corporation (U.S.D.C., D.N.J.), in which insurance companies are alleged to have violated ERISA duties in the collection of subrogation liens.

The Firm represents a number of highly-compensated securities industry individuals in defamation and employment-based claims in proceedings before the NASD, NYSE and in state and federal courts throughout the United States.  In these proceedings, attorneys in the Firm have recovered many millions of dollars for its clients.
