Jon Zimring

Jon Zimring practices management-side labor and employment law with an emphasis on the practical resolution of difficult workplace problems playing themselves out internally, before administrative agencies or in the courts. Mr. Zimring also has an active practice assisting employers with prevention through proactive audits, compensation analyses, investigations and consultation and through the development of policies, procedures, systems and training. Mr. Zimring’s practice includes representation of employers through the gamut of workplace issues, including traditional labor relations with unions, federal government contract compliance, wage and hour, leave and disability and all forms of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. Mr. Zimring brings to bear for his clients a philosophy of legal practice which recognizes that most employers would prefer to find a way to favorably solve their employment-related problems rather than spending vast resources in litigation over them. Having litigated numerous labor and employment matters, Mr. Zimring knows the path to victory in the courts, before administrative agencies and with unions, but also recognizes the price. He has, as a result, developed an intense focus on best strategies for avoiding litigation and entanglements with administrative agencies and unions, and where such litigation, agency or union entanglements are ongoing and unavoidable, how best to resolve them with the least expenditure of time and resources. Mr. Zimring regularly resolves matters on behalf of employers finding themselves before, to name a few, the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL"), the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs ("OFCCP"), the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB"), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), numerous state and local counterparts to these agencies and the many other federal, state and local agencies that investigate, audit compliance with and enforce labor and employment laws.
