Description

Jeff’s management-side labor and employment law practice is unique in that he regularly handles both employment law and traditional labor law matters. Jeff’s legal knowledge is accompanied by his understanding of his clients’ industries, which primarily include construction, manufacturing, food processing, banking, health care, long term care, and transportation, among others. Jeff participates in various trade and professional associations devoted to his clients’ diverse industries. He is passionately committed to helping employers stay up-to-date with legal developments and trends unique to their industry. Jeff regularly assists major trade and business associations in their efforts to try and prevent catastrophic workplace regulations by local, state and federal government authorities. For instance, for over 20 years, nearly every major workplace initiative developed by the Illinois Legislature has crossed Jeff’s desk for his review and comment. Jeff is also called upon to testify, on behalf of the business community, on a plethora of bills and legislative proposals.
