Employment Law Group
Our versatility is unmatched.
We combine deep experience with plaintiff-side litigation with a keen understanding of how to solve complex challenges facing progressive nonprofit employers.
The lawyers in our employment law practice are a tight-knit team with decades of experience protecting workers’ rights. With various lawyers bringing expertise in employment litigation, transactional work, and winning appellate arguments, our cohesive team works together to be more than the sum of our parts.
Our lawyers have represented workers facing discrimination, whistleblowers, and survivors of campus sexual assault. Before joining Trister Ross, some of our lawyers enforced federal workplace-protection laws while working at the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Office of Special Counsel.

Workplace Accommodations — We ensure employees can access the disability accommodations and family/medical leave protections they are entitled to under the law.
