Gerald Pauling

I am an equity partner at a leading employment defense firm in Chicago. I represent employers in complex/multi-plaintiff employment discrimination litigation. I am a practical, results-oriented strategist. I aim to resolve matters quickly where possible, but draw on my significant experience as an aggressive litigator and trial lawyer when settlement is not possible or desired. Outside the courtroom, I work with employers to develop creative, best-practice solutions to employment, labor relations and diversity issues. Specialties: National practice representing employers in employment-related disputes and litigation, and representing management in labor-management matters. Focus on complex discrimination litigation and class actions, employment contracts, harassment claims, and claims brought under federal and state anti-discrimination laws.
