Practice/Industry Group Overview
Jones Day's Labor & Employment Practice offers corporate clients experienced, sophisticated, and cost-effective nationwide and local representation concerning all aspects of personnel-related legal matters. The practice comprises more than 140 counselors and litigators, located in offices around the world.
We have a premier national reputation, with a strong, experienced, highly credentialed and profiled partner component; a high-quality associate corps; and additional support from skilled lawyers in the Litigation, Employee Benefits, and Issues & Appeals practices. Many of our labor and employment lawyers have had substantial service in state and federal regulatory agencies, and many serve in leadership positions in professional organizations. Our partners are regularly named in the labor and employment sections of leading industry guides published by Chambers USA, The Best Lawyers in America, The National Law Journal, and the Legal Times.
The practice in the U.S. applies this experience across the practice field: employment discrimination, both agency and civil employment litigation; traditional labor work, involving high-level strategic planning, collective bargaining, grievance arbitration, NLRB, and court proceedings; labor and employment aspects of acquisitions, divestiture, and bankruptcy work; executive retention, compensation, and separation; ERISA and employee benefits; and other areas of regulation, such as OSHA and wage and hour regulation. We have premier class action skills in defending employers against significant class action and multiplaintiff cases. These high-stakes cases, which may involve thousands of potential claimants and highly complex issues, range from major Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) collective action and state law wage-hour class action cases to large ERISA, discrimination, and employment tort and breach-of-contract cases. In Europe, we are heavily involved in litigation on dismissals and workplace practices, traditional labor work, transactional advice, and advice on legislative proposals. We also have lawyers with established labor skills resident in Greater China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.
In order to meet client needs most efficiently, our lawyers also draw on the experience of other lawyers Firmwide through a tradition of close collaboration and cooperation. These ties are facilitated by integrated worldwide electronic communication systems and computer networks. In addition, where appropriate for matters involving representations on a national or regional basis, we establish multi-office lawyer teams, or coordinated multidisciplinary teams involving lawyers from such diverse practices as bankruptcy, antitrust, and corporate criminal investigations.
