We are Albany’s Leading Labor & Employment Attorneys
Albany has been a center of higher education for over a century, with much of the remainder of its economy dependent on state government and health care services. Albany is also the home of national and multi-national corporations that own and operate electric generating facilities.
In all of these industries, we maintain active employment attorney practices representing the employment, employee benefits and labor interests of individuals, institutions and unions.
Our Albany employment attorneys regularly guide clients through internal and governmental investigations, and represent them in federal and state courts, disciplinary proceedings, and actions initiated by a variety of regulatory agencies. Our experience includes discrimination claims—on the basis of race and color, creed, national origin, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, familial status, domestic violence victim status, arrest or conviction record discrimination, or predisposing genetic characteristics—before the New York State Division of Human Rights.
