Nick represents employers in all areas of labor and employment law, including claims involving discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour violations, and class and collective actions. He defends clients with a practical, results-driven approach in federal and state courts, before administrative agencies such as the EEOC and NLRB, and in arbitration. In addition to litigation, Nick provides strategic counseling to help clients navigate complex workplace issues, comply with evolving employment laws, and avoid legal disputes before they arise.
