Ballard Spahr LLP ‘offers a strong traditional labor practice‘ which includes areas such as union negotiations and representing clients before labor relations boards. On the non-contentious side, the group is present at every phase of the negotiation process. The broader group is largely sector agnostic, but most notably is active in the public sector, with unique knowledge of state laws, but is also comfortable operating in federal courts throughout the country. Leading the team is Denise Keyser in New Jersey, who, along with versatile labor and employment lawyer Shannon D. Farmer in Philadelphia, is described by one client as ‘practical with their advice‘. Brian Pedrow in Philadelphia is a key practitioner for the group’s litigious matters.
