Labor, Employment and Benefits Practice

• In a market characterized by large firms with employment advisory practices or specialized labor boutiques, Holland & Knight offers the best of both worlds - a rare blend of boutique-type experience, backed by the resources and support of a full-service law firm.
• Publications such as Chambers USA and Best Lawyers have ranked Holland & Knight among the leading law firms in the country for employment counseling and labor law for management.
• Our Labor, Employment and Benefits Group includes former in-house counsel and Human Resources professionals from major corporations.

Technological, regulatory and demographic changes - along with globalization - present companies with more challenging decisions than ever before regarding federal and state labor law, employment law and employee benefits.

Given the complexity of the current labor climate, building a relationship with one legal team that can guide you through new developments, explain your options clearly and help you to make thoughtful, informed decisions can provide efficiency and stability. Our labor and employment law attorneys, who exclusively represent management, are up-to-speed on your industry and can represent you in the United States and abroad in the full range of employment matters that affect your business.
