With eleven offices across the United States and affiliations worldwide, Epstein Becker & Green, P.C. (EBG) is among the largest labor and employment law firms in the world. The firm is home to approximately 375 lawyers � more than half of whom practice exclusively in labor and employment and employee benefits matters as trial attorneys and as counselors. Many of the firm’s attorneys are among the best known in the country in their areas of expertise, with distinguished backgrounds in government, nonprofits, corporate law departments and private practice. Many have served in government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and various U.S. attorneys’ offices.

EMPLOYMENT LAW COUNSELING AND LITIGATION

Working exclusively with management, EBG represents employers in all manner of employment-related claims, including claims brought under antidiscrimination laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

EBG counsels employers in matters relating to sexual harassment, executive compensation, wrongful discharge, plant closings and relocations, downsizing and workforce restructuring, noncompetition and trade secrets litigation, ERISA and other employee benefits issues, employment-related torts, immigration, actions arising under state workers’ compensation laws, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act.

The firm also has developed specialized practice groups to offer services to companies and organizations in different market segments including:

TRADITIONAL LABOR LAW

EBG also offers counsel and representation to management in the area of traditional labor relations, including labor, arbitration, job actions and work stoppages, maintaining a union-free workplace, and actions arising under the National Labor Relations Act, the Railway Labor Act, and other organized labor statutes. The firm also is experienced in handling emerging issues in traditional labor law, such as organizing in non-traditional industries, and organizing through e-mail, the Internet and other computer-related technologies.

INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYMENT LAW PRACTICE

In an economy that is increasingly global in nature, EBG is particularly experienced at serving the needs of international employers, both in the U.S. and abroad.

There is perhaps no other law firm in the United States with more experience in working with multi-national employers doing business in the United States and throughout the world dealing with issues such as expatriate compensation, the effect of foreign laws on U.S. citizens abroad, rotating staff on assignment to the U.S., and immigration issues. The firm also maintains affiliations worldwide, and is a founding member of the International Lawyers Net-work, a confederation of more than 70 full-service law firms located in approximately 60 countries.
