Halloran & Sage LLP

Halloran & Sage's highly regarded labor and employment practice provides sophisticated legal representation to the management of private and public sector employees. Whether in court or at the bargaining table, our goal is to protect the best interests of your business and ensure its smooth operation.

In employment litigation, we have a proven record of success defending against claims alleging age discrimination, unlawful discharge, wrongful termination, sexual harassment, gender and physical discrimination, and whistleblower retaliation. In labor-management relations, we counsel non-union employers on avoiding unionization and represent unionized employers in collective bargaining and grievance and arbitration procedures.

We work closely with our clients to avoid employment disputes before they arise and to address them appropriately when they do. We assist clients with employee benefit plans, employment counseling, individual employment contracts, executive compensation, crisis management, corporate compliance, and audits and investigations.

Halloran & Sage is fully committed to enhancing ethnic and cultural diversity within our firm. Diversity encourages enriched thinking, varied perspectives and insightful solutions, all of which are critical components in providing superior service to our clients. Through our recruitment, retention and development, our goal is to build a firm that reflects the diverse community in which we live and work.

In order to achieve meaningful and lasting progress toward this goal, we have pledged the firm's full philosophical and financial support. To carry out this pledge, we have created a senior-level Diversity Committee, which is charged with the oversight of all diversity initiatives throughout our firm. Key facets of our diversity initiatives are:

• Recruitment. We actively recruit summer associates, first-year associates and lateral attorneys from a variety of ethnic    and cultural backgrounds. We participate in several collaborative relationships and initiatives that further this goal.
• Retention. We strive to create and maintain an environment that promotes ethnic and cultural diversity over the long term.
• Development and advancement. Our attorneys are active in numerous organizations that support the professional    development and advancement of attorneys from diverse backgrounds.
• Community. As one of Connecticut's largest law firms, we are committed to making a difference in our community. We    dedicate time, talent and financial resources to a range of programs and events that foster and celebrate our community's diversity.
