At Robbins Schwartz our attorneys provide practical and cost-effective representation to private sector employers in labor and personnel matters.

Private Sector Labor & Employment

We counsel employers on all aspects of the employment relationship, including hiring and termination decisions, employee discipline, collective bargaining, disability accommodations, and investigations of misconduct and harassment. Our attorneys represent employers in grievances, arbitrations, unfair labor practices, discrimination complaints, and lawsuits, defending them in federal and state courts and before administrative bodies such as the EEOC and the Illinois Department of Human Rights.

We are equipped to develop policies to ensure compliance with laws like the ADA, FMLA, and FLSA, and provide tailored on-site training and in-service programs. At the bargaining table, we help management achieve its goals, negotiating hundreds of contracts and ensuring clear contract language to prevent disputes.
