More than 50 lawyers strong, Buchanan's Labor and Employment Law Section is dedicated to serving all of our clients' employment-related needs. Many of our section members have been recognized repeatedly for their work in labor and employment law by clients and peers, according to nationwide surveys and publications including Chambers' Leaders in Their Field, Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers^® magazine, Top Up and Comer and Pittsburgh Magazine's Rising Stars.

With offices across the nation, we provide broad geographic reach and wide industry breadth. We represent clients in industries ranging from health care, telecommunications, coal, retail, chemical and steel, to transportation, hospitality, education, service and the nonprofit and private sector. Our experience enables us to provide efficient, seasoned guidance on all aspects of the employment relationship and, when necessary, knowledgeable litigation counsel for disputes in any context, including the fast-growing and complex area of class and collective action litigation. Additionally, we address issues proactively, anticipating problems the client may not have foreseen or raised, and we team with other sections within Buchanan when a cross-discipline approach to a problem serves the client's needs.
