"Richard is an exceptionally knowledgeable labor law attorney and he is very responsive."

-Robert Shaw (Bergelectric)

"I have been fortunate to have worked with Rich Meneghello as opposing counsel and also through his service on the Board of Bar Examiners. I have always found Rich to be well-prepared and very intelligent. In addition to his intellect, he possesses very sound judgment. He understands the nuances of complex situations and is able to quickly seize upon common sense solutions to problems. He is extremely professional and civil in his dealings with parties and opposing counsel, without compromising his effectiveness. In other words, he is a strong and intimidating advocate -- though the intimidation factor comes from his skill set and preparation, and not because he is abrasive or inappropriate (which some lawyers are)."

-Jon Benson (Oregon State Bar), Tigard

Lawyer Bio

Rich Meneghello is a partner in the firm's Portland office. He is passionate about assisting employers with their labor and employment problems in a wide variety of areas.

Rich has focused much of his practice on defending and advising employers on disability discrimination issues. He has maintained this focus since 1999, when he was the lead associate attorney before the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Albertsons v. Kirkingburg, a unanimous decision interpreting the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in favor of employers.

However, Rich's practice is not limited to ADA matters. He commonly appears in court defending claims of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, injured worker discrimination, race discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour violations, and family and medical leave discrimination.

He also counsels employers on proactive ways to avoid legal problems, by rendering advice, drafting policies, and providing training.

Rich has written a monthly column in the Portland Daily Journal of Commerce entitled “Solutions at Work” since 2007, and he has supervised the Fisher Phillips Supreme Court Alert service, which publishes summaries and offers practical advice about Supreme Court opinions, since 2008.
