Biography

Joel Greenwald isn’t bound by the conventions of traditional employment law—he’s redefining what it can do for businesses at all stages of growth.

As the founder and managing partner of Greenwald Doherty LLP, Joel built a firm where employment law is treated as a strategic asset—not just a safety net. His team focuses on proactive legal counsel, immersive management training, and innovative solutions that help employers prevent problems before they start.

Clients turn to Joel when they need practical, business-minded guidance on complex workplace issues. He has spent decades helping companies stay compliant, competitive, and confident—whether it’s through advisory work, leadership training, or developing tools that bring legal clarity to the fast-moving world of HR. That includes tech-powered solutions that simplify multi-state compliance and keep clients ahead of shifting employment laws.

Recognizing that the billable hour often discourages collaboration, Joel pioneered a subscription-based legal services model. This approach creates ongoing, predictable partnerships with clients, allowing them to access counsel when they need it—without hesitation—and fostering a deeper, more strategic attorney-client relationship.

Joel has delivered hundreds of keynotes, trainings, and workshops for executive teams and HR professionals across the country. He regularly speaks on issues like legal hiring issues, terminations, winning documentation strategies, the impact of AI on HR, and more, and contributes insights on compliance and legal innovation to media outlets and business publications. - Nationally respected employment law advisor
