Corporate and Business Services

Our Corporate and Business Services attorneys provide experienced counsel to clients throughout all stages of business strategy, development, and corporate governance. We are trusted advisors who work with our clients and in-house counsel to address the challenges and opportunities associated with the formation, operation, and growth of all types of organizations. Our attorneys develop strong partnerships with our clients to understand their businesses, visions, and goals.

Our clients include publicly traded and closely held businesses, private equity investors, management groups, banks and financial institutions, governmental entities, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations, including hospitals and universities. We represent a wide range of sectors, such as polymers, robotics, medical services, restaurants, information services, steel processing, automotive manufacturing, real estate, and transportation. The comprehensive scope of our practice, coupled with our extensive experience, enable us to effectively tailor our representation to the needs of each client, offer solutions to complex and routine legal and business issues, and provide access to a network of resources.

Some of our attorneys are former general counsels and senior executive officers of companies within various industries. Several attorneys are former and current law directors of communities and presidents of regional professional organizations and sections within bar associations. We apply a multidisciplinary approach on a daily basis to offer practical and innovative team-oriented solutions.

Employment Services

Our Labor and Employment attorneys counsel and represent public and private companies, public sector entities and not-for-profit organizations across the entire spectrum of labor, employment and human resource issues. We work cooperatively with in-house counsel, executive-level managers, public officials, risk management professionals and human resource departments in handling all employment-related issues, including federal and state labor and employment law compliance, preparation and implementation of personnel policies and employment agreements, employee hiring, employee discipline, leaves of absence and accommodation issues, affirmative action, discrimination claims, workers' compensation, benefit administration and health and safety regulations. Our attorneys are highly qualified in administrative proceedings, with extensive experience representing local, national and international clients before federal and state agencies.

We handle litigation of all types of labor and employment claims in federal and state courts, including matters arising under federal and state labor law and claims arising under the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the WARN Act and numerous other state and federal laws governing the workplace.

Many of our attorneys are board certified in trial advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. We also have many Ohio State Bar Association board certified specialists in the areas of Workers' Compensation and Labor and Employment Law.
