Goldberg Kohn is pleased to announce that Meredith Kirshenbaum has been named Chair of the firm’s Labor & Employment Practice Group. Meredith, a Principal in Goldberg Kohn's Litigation and Labor & Employment Practice groups, helps clients navigate labor and employment issues, litigation, and the challenges of commercial disputes. During her more than 15 years with the firm, she has been instrumental in the growth of the Labor & Employment practice and the firm at large.
“Meredith is highly respected nationally for her labor & employment work, particularly for charter schools,” said outgoing Labor & Employment Practice Group Chair Michael Sullivan. “We could not be more pleased that she is taking over this role, and we are confident that under her leadership, she will take the Labor & Employment Group to the next level.”
In Meredith's traditional labor law practice, she represents employers in unfair labor practice charges and in other matters pending before the National Labor Relations Board. She counsels employers during union organizing campaigns, defends employer interests throughout the union-election process, and negotiates union contracts.
Meredith devotes a considerable portion of her practice to representing and advising charter schools, counseling them in traditional labor law, employment law, charter applications, contract negotiations, state commission appeals and school policies. Recognized for her expertise, Meredith is frequently invited to speak before charter school leaders and charter school attorneys, including as part of the Alliance of Public Charter School Attorneys.
“It is an honor to lead such an exceptional and dedicated group. I look forward to building on our momentum and continuing to serve our clients with the same commitment they have come to expect,” said Meredith.
