John’s tenure in the corporate sector has given him extensive experience with labor and employment issues facing American corporations today. He has provided advice and counsel to corporate staff and management on labor relations, employment law (including merger, acquisition and disposition issues), unlawful discrimination, affirmative action, employee benefits and immigration. Over the years, he has handled hundreds of cases in just about every aspect of the law as it applies to employment.
