Why Koley Jessen?

Our Experience: Our practice group has a combined total of 70 years of experience in representing employers in employment, labor and benefit matters. This experience has given us the depth and perspective from which to advise clients on the issues they encounter. We have a very high success rate in employment litigation.

Our Responsiveness: We know that response time can be critical in the employment area. A termination decision or disciplinary matter may arise unexpectedly and need to be addressed immediately. We make ourselves available by office phone, cell phone, email, fax and through our assistants. Clients will always get a return call the same day, or know when to expect one.

Our Proactive Approach: Employment, labor and benefits can change dramatically through court decisions and legislative changes. We constantly monitor these changes so that we can provide employers with the most up-to-date and relevant information through periodic NewsFlashes and an annual Employment Law Symposium on various employment law issues.

Our Employment, Labor and Benefits Practice Group provides specialized employment law expertise focused on your individual needs.
