Biography

Having concentrated on labor and employment law for over two decades, Glenn is adept at providing counsel on everything from disability accommodation and medical leave requests to high-level management strategies. No matter the problem, Glenn delivers positive, fast, and cost-effective results while ensuring that you protect your interests, comply with the law, and are fair to your employees—and yourself.

On top of that, if you need someone to guide you through the nuances of a real estate boundary or easement dispute or to settle disagreements on your business’s office lease, you’ll want Glenn on your side. He has handled enough real estate disputes to become a familiar face at the Maine Supreme Court.

Glenn is also very experienced in:
  • Negotiating, drafting, and defending employment contracts and restrictive covenants
  • Defending employers in discrimination and retaliation claims, overtime claims, and wrongful termination claims in front of the Maine Human Rights Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, and other state and federal courts and agencies
  • Representing employers in union contract negotiations and grievance arbitrations
  • Responding to union organizing campaigns and unfair labor practice claims
  • Preparing employee handbooks, forms, and policies for employer use
