Leaders: Timothy A. Gudas and Jeanine L. Poole

The Labor and Employment Group of Sulloway & Hollis provides comprehensive counseling and litigation services to employers throughout New England. We advise clients on all areas of labor and employment law, ranging from prudent practices to the development and interpretation of employee handbooks and employee policies.

Our attorneys investigate discrimination and harassment complaints and defend claims before federal and state administrative agencies throughout New England. We frequently appear before state and federal courts in connection with wrongful discharge suits, wage and hour matters, and other employment-related litigation.

In the non-unionized arena, our team works with clients to keep them that way. For employers with unions, we provide guidance on contract administration and achieve successful results in collective-bargaining negotiations and grievance and arbitration matters. Our attorneys design and implement retirement plans and employee benefit programs of all types and, when necessary, defend ERISA and other claims based upon benefits issues.

We have a special expertise working with medical groups, hospitals, municipalities, and school districts. In many instances, we function as in-house labor and employment counsel, addressing our clients’ daily challenges in today’s complicated and risky labor and employment environment. Clients choose us because we successfully help them avoid claims, as well as resolve claims brought against them.
