Proskauer Rose LLP

One of the preeminent law firms in the US for labor and employment disputes, Proskauer Rose LLP is regularly turned to by notable sports, retail, and media companies to handle a wide array of complex issues including wage and hour class actions, discrimination and harassment litigation, and restrictive covenant issues. The group is well-experienced acting before the federal and state courts, including the likes of the EEOC and the Supreme Court, and it is also adept at representing clients in investigations prompted by the EEOC and the OFCCP. Jointly steering the department are Allan Bloom – who specializes in unpaid wages, discrimination, and breach of contract, and wrongful discharge claims – and Adam Lupion, a trusted advisor to sports leagues and teams seeking assistance with discrimination claims, collective actions concerning pay practices, and policy violations. In Boston, Mark Batten is the key point of contact for class actions, while Elise Bloom concentrates on discrimination and wage and hour collective actions. On the jury trial front, Keisha-Ann Gray is a reference for her cross-examination prowess, and LA’s Anthony Oncidi stands out for his aptitude for executive employment contract disputes. Other indispensable members of the practice include Chicago-based Nigel Telman and Michelle Annese. All attorneys are based in New York unless otherwise stated.
