Labor and employment team co-chair Emily Burkhardt Vicente in Los Angeles and Kevin White in Washington DC lead the team at Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, which often appears before the National Labor Relations Board. A feature of the group’s practice is its flexibility when dealing with litigation for unionized employers and tailoring their approach to unique defenses available to them. Such litigious matters include wage-hour class action matters, particularly in the retail and consumer products sector. Non-contentious issues handled by the group often involve collective bargaining agreements.
