The firm as it is known today was formed in 1946 at the end of World War II to devote its practice exclusively to the representation of management in labor and employment matters.
In addition to basic labor and employment law, the firm also represents clients in the areas of employee benefits, environmental compliance and occupational safety and health. Multinational corporations as well as small local businesses have called upon the firm's experience for over 50 years, many of them retaining the firm's counsel after conducting a nationwide search for the most competent legal representation.
