Labor and employment disputes (including collective actions)

Described by clients as a ‘premier team of lawyers with significant expertise in litigation,’ Norton Rose Fulbright’s labor and employment department is rated for its disputes capabilities, which span wage and hour, discrimination, and trade secrets, as well as non-competes, breach of contract, and non-solicitation. The team’s robust offering continues to attract new clients to its roster, which is made up of notable names from the financial services, telecoms, and oil and gas sectors, to name a few. Heading up the group is Shauna Clark, who comes recommended for her ‘unique skillset in providing practical and actionable legal advice.’ She has considerable experience defending employers before federal and state courts in a wide range of mandates, including litigation concerning discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, in addition to whistleblowing, hostile work environments, and company policy violations. Clark works alongside the ’zealous’ Carter Crow, who stands out for his jury trial prowess, and on the non-compete front, Kimberly Cheeseman is the go-to.
