Overview
Throughout the Firm’s history, we have assisted our clients in responding to and resolving grievances. Our goal is to help ensure that grievances are resolved so as to achieve our clients’ objectives while always promoting positive labor-management relations. In those situations where a grievance cannot be resolved short of arbitration, we represent our clients in all aspects of the arbitration process, including selection of the arbitrator, preparation for the hearing and trying and briefing the case.
Our attorneys have tried countless arbitrations in both the public and private sectors involving both contract interpretation and “just cause” disciplinary cases. This includes cases in every industry grouping across the country and government entities throughout Illinois.
