He has leveraged this problem-solving experience to inform the counsel that he provides as a trusted advisor to his clients as they strive to comply with local, state, and federal laws. He collaborates regularly as a strategic partner to his clients, focusing on labor, employment, and related risks, and overseeing numerous due diligence initiatives during clients’ potential acquisitions of targeted businesses and during others’ preparations to be acquired. As employers’ counsel, he has defended dozens of investigations of pay, timekeeping, and classification practices by United States Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division and by similar local and state government agencies.
