Labor & Employment

Elise M. Bloom is widely hailed as one of the nation’s top employment lawyers and one of the most creative and effective discrimination, wage and hour, class/collective action trial lawyers. She is particularly well-known for handling high profile, bet-the-company matters on behalf of significant national employers.

With 30+ years in practice, Elise possesses extensive pre-trial and jury trial experience as well as conducting high-profile investigations. She is a leading authority in class action litigation involving non-traditional workers—including interns, trainees, volunteers, and other contingent or entry-level personnel. She secured a landmark, precedent-setting victory for Fox Searchlight Pictures in the high-profile “Black Swan” case. Elise also handled several other precedent-setting cases, including Hoffman v. Parade Pubs, Doe v Bloomberg, L.P. Court of Appeals, Hamby v. WNBA, LLC, and Chen v. Major League Baseball.
