Practice/Organization Description
Overview
Focused on labor and employment law since 1958, Jackson Lewis P.C.’s 950+ attorneys located in major cities nationwide consistently identify and respond to new ways workplace law intersects business. We help employers develop proactive strategies, strong policies and business-oriented solutions to cultivate high-functioning workforces that are engaged, stable and diverse, and share our clients' goals to emphasize inclusivity and respect for the contribution of every employee.
Our Approach
We combine local expertise and national resources to deliver creative and strategic solutions for employers. In all matters, our goal is to help clients develop proactive strategies and business solutions that reduce workplace law risk.
For over 60 years, our top priority has been providing the highest level of client service and legal representation, whether that is preventive reviews, responsive advice and counsel, or defending employers in litigation.
Preventive Approach: We partner with clients to minimize workplace-related disputes by educating employers on legal trends, judicial developments, and statutory and regulatory compliance.
Focus on Client Service: We work with employers to create flexible fee arrangements that best suit our clients’ needs and offer a wide range of value-added programs and services, including local and national programs, webinars, newsletters and legal alerts regarding emerging developments.
Local, National and Global Coverage: Our local offices across the U.S. provide representation to employers of all sizes from coast to coast, while our national practice groups ensure all our attorneys throughout the country have easy access to the latest resources in each practice area. Through our International Employment Issues practice and relationship with L&E Global, we assist multinational employers on issues that extend beyond our borders.
Legal Solutions that Make Business Sense: We take the time early on in any matter to analyze the legal issues and our client’s business objectives, and then develop a strategy that takes both into account.
The foundation of our client service philosophy is to build strong relationships. We believe it is important to learn about each client’s particular industry, business and culture, with the goal of becoming an extension of their team.
At Jackson Lewis, we understand no legal issue can be viewed in isolation. Whether we are counseling clients on compliance strategies or defending a high-stakes lawsuit, we work with clients to devise an approach that fits with the company’s core values and culture.

Jackson Lewis’ diverse group of attorneys across the country shares a commitment to teamwork, collegiality and client-first solutions—a commitment that is reinforced by firm leadership. As we grow, we want new attorneys to be fully integrated into the firm, to get to know their colleagues, and embrace the firm’s culture and protocols we have installed over the years to ensure that we provide the highest quality legal services.
