More About Nick

Nick has more than 30 years of experience as a labor lawyer. He partners with clients to help them run an efficient business model while observing legal restrictions that result from a union presence. He finds solutions to help his clients create a business environment where their companies can move forward without being bogged down in labor matters. Nick’s experience extends to all aspects of employment law—including labor, employment, and benefits matters—and he brings that extensive knowledge to all of his work.

Nick regularly represents his clients in labor-related litigation in federal and state courts, which often involves free speech, union access, and preemption matters. He has handled numerous cases before the National Labor Relations Board, including unfair labor practice charges and representation cases. He has successfully resolved disputes over appropriate bargaining units in several representation proceedings, resulting in election wins for his clients. Recently, Nick was lead counsel on an NLRB decertification campaign involving more than 2,400 bargaining unit members, which was one of the largest, most successful decertification cases in the nation.

Nick has arbitrated just about every type of labor case imaginable, including benefit disputes, scores of individual termination cases, contract cases, and union discrimination cases.

Additionally, he has negotiated collective bargaining contracts throughout the US across almost all industries. Nick acts a corporate and business attorney as much as a labor attorney—he recognizes that events that take place at the bargaining table have a great impact on the corporate bottom line and involve significant business decisions. He understands that businesses must remain nimble in the economy, and he partners with his clients to ensure that flexibility.

Labor and employment law is a multifaceted challenge. Nick is proud of his employment and labor law practice at Seyfarth. He knows he can rely on the firm's resources, and collaborate with his colleagues to meet any challenge.
