Our Labor and Employment attorneys counsel and represent public and private companies, and public sector entities across the entire spectrum of labor and employment issues, including lawsuits and administrative proceedings that arise from federal employment laws such as Title VII, Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Americans with Disabilities (ADA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN), as well as their statutory counterparts under Ohio law.

We work cooperatively with in-house counsel, 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 provide representation in all federal and state courts, and before the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, National Labor Relations Board, and Department of Labor.

When an organization or individual faces legal headwinds, they need legal experts who will stand by their side from beginning to end.

Our attorneys are dedicated to providing sound advice and counsel that will guide each client successfully through the legal matter that brought us together.

More than four decades of growth and success have brought new skills and approaches to the firm. MRR is now aligned into practice areas that include attorneys as well as other seasoned professionals drawn from the public and private sector. This structure allows our professionals to develop unparalleled expertise in their specific practice areas, as well as allowing MRR to offer services in a greater range of legal matters.

Our strong work ethic and collaborative approach to complex issues are contributing factors in the successful conclusion of the cases we have handled.
