The bulk of the workload for the versatile practitioners at Jackson Lewis P.C. includes breaches of contracts and fiduciary duties, misappropriation of trade secrets, and allegations of discrimination, as well as wrongful termination lawsuits, employment classification issues, and wage disputes. With a robust offering and experience acting before federal and state courts, including The Supreme Court and The Superior Courts, the group has amassed a strong client base comprising notable names from the retail, financial services, and technology sectors. Kevin Lauri heads the team in New York, while in Orange County Samantha Hoffman oversees the department. They are supported by Orlando’s Stephanie Adler-Paindiris, who has considerable experience defending companies in class actions concerning alleged FCRA violations and race and gender discrimination and retaliation cases. On the wage and hour front, Jeffrey Brecher – who is based in Long Island – is the key point of contact, and specializing in high-stakes trade secrets cases is Miami-based Jennifer Schwartz.
