Brian B. Kelly

Brian’s employment counseling experience spans companies across various industries and U.S. geographies (with an enhanced focus on California), and covers all aspects of the employment life cycle, including hirings, terminations (including large-scaled reductions in force), leaves of absence, agreements, policies, wage-and-hour, incentive compensation programs, worker classification, restrictive covenants, equal employment opportunity, workforce strategy, employee complaints and disputes, investigations, and more.

Additionally, Brian has worked on more than one hundred mergers-and-acquisitions, providing in-depth diligence and pre- and post-closing workforce restructuring advice on both the buy- and sell-side.

Prior to joining Greenberg Traurig, Brian was most recently the Global Head of Employment Law at WeWork, where he managed a team of five employment attorneys who were responsible for advising on employment matters across approximately 25 countries.
