About Jeremy Heisler

I am a Founding Partner and Co-Vice Chairman of Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, LLP, a national law firm with offices in Washington, DC, New York, San Francisco, San Diego, and Nashville. I have established leading employment law precedents, including the expansion of the rights of wrongfully discharged employees. I have prevailed in novel and groundbreaking litigation against some of the largest companies in the nation.A recent victory came in In Re Novartis Wage and Hour Litigation. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that sales representatives employed by pharmaceutical giant Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation were entitled to overtime pay under federal, New York and California law. As a direct result of this decision, Novartis and plaintiffs reached a $99 million class-wide settlement, the largest wage and hour settlement in 2012.I was also instrumental in spearheading a $28 million settlement in a suit charging that three AT&T subsidiaries wrongfully denied overtime pay to a class of First-Level Managers.Additionally, I won class certification for a group of female sales representatives who alleged that their employer engaged in gender discrimination in Velez v. Novartis. A jury ultimately returned a $250 million verdict against the company—the largest gender discrimination award in United States history and one of the five largest ever.My successes have been as consistent as they are varied. I have prosecuted many significant class actions, including a case against G.E. Capital with a $19.2 million settlement (consumers were overcharged with illegal fees), and a case against a major leasing company with a $15 million settlement (consumers were defrauded).
