Describe your firm’s approach to litigation and your strategy for building successful teams for trials or other matters. We start with the basics: what is our client’s objective, and how can we most efficiently and effectively achieve it? Our clients come to us for help with their most challenging, sensitive issues, and we work to solve them creatively and aggressively. We do that by putting the best team on the field for each situation, which is often a close partnership of appellate and trial litigators and other experts who work together across practice groups and offices with a single mission: serve our client. And we like our clients and each other and are passionate about our work.

Discuss the two biggest labor and employment litigation cases your firm worked on in 2019 and how you reached successful outcomes. In April 2019, the [U.S. Court of Appeals for the] Second Circuit affirmed our summary judgment win for Credico in a leading independent contractor misclassification case. We pursued a novel strategy and successfully argued in the district court and on appeal that the outside sales exemption applied and that Credico could not be held liable under a joint employer theory. This built on our earlier [U.S. Court of Appeals for the] Third Circuit win for Enterprise Rent-A-Car in which the court adopted a new test for joint employer liability.
