He counsels public and private employers, unionized and union-free organizations, startups, and growing businesses. He also works with human resources professionals on everyday employment questions.

His work includes emergency requests involving noncompete agreements, trade secrets, and labor relations.

He is admitted in Vermont and New Hampshire and before additional federal courts. His practice involves selecting an approach suited to the dispute, including trial, arbitration, mediation, or dispositive motions. That range of options helps frame decisions about resolving contested matters while accounting for the client’s objectives and the available legal record.
