Labor and employment firm Jackson Lewis has elected Vincent Cino as its new chairman, the first employment litigator to lead the White Plains-based firm. Patrick Vaccaro, who has led since 2006, will step down and remain a partner at the 735-attorney firm.
Since 2006, Cino, based in Morristown, N.J., has been Jackson Lewis’ national director of litigation. Cino said he has been supervising litigators and the 6,500 lawsuits, including 415 class actions, the firm is handling. Past firm leaders, including Vaccaro, have been on the labor side, representing management in disputes with unions and in matters before the National Labor Relations Board, Cino said.
