Employee relations law is unique in several respects. The person on the "other side of the fence" often is a non-lawyer, a rank-and-file employee, an employee committee, or a union representative, and is less familiar with, or even suspicious of, legal terminology and procedures. Clients, as business people with employee-related problems for which they want realistic solutions, are not interested in just being "quoted the law" or told they have a problem; they want practical advice and assistance.

We communicate with businesspersons, union representatives and employees in their language; we relate to them in a manner that merits their respect. In every case that comes to our attention, we provide not only a legal answer but also practical recommendations and solutions for future action. We have found that for every employee relations question and answer, there are many supplemental questions to answer. Not only must the proper course of action be decided upon, but also a plan for implementation must be developed, with measurable results. In other words, we help management put our advice into action.
