Jonathan Nirenberg

A partner of Rabner Baumgart Ben-Asher & Nirenberg, P.C., I have dedicated my career to representing employees in discrimination, civil rights, and employment law cases in New Jersey and New York since I graduated from Cornell Law School. As an experienced employment lawyer, I have extensive experience in writing and arguing appeals. I have participated in numerous landmark decisions, including Cole v. Jersey City Medical Center, Zive v. Stanley Roberts, Inc., Myers v. AT&T, Padilla v. Berkeley Educational Services of New Jersey, Inc., Brennan v. Norton, and Muller v. Exxon Research and Engineering. Prior to joining Rabner Baumgart, I have been a partner of The Nirenberg Law Firm, Resnick & Nirenberg, P.C., and Deutsch Resnick, P.A. I write articles about important employment law issues and developments for my blog, the New York & New Jersey Employment Law Blog. I am also the author of the articles When Does the Employer Have the Burden of Proof? (New Jersey Law Journal, March 14, 2008), Are Some Employees Entitled to More than 12 Weeks of Pregnancy Leave Under State and Federal Law (New Jersey Labor and Employment Law Quarterly, Spring 2002) and When Is an Employer's Failure to Provide Notice of FMLA Rights or Designate FMLA Leave Actionable? (New Jersey Law Journal, March 29, 2004). I have been selected as a New Jersey Super Lawyer Rising Star in 2011, 2012 and 2013. I am a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) and the National Employment Lawyers Association of New Jersey (NELA-NJ). I am also a member of NELA-NJ's amicus committee. I represent employees and individuals in employment law matters including claims of discrimination, harassment, wrongful discharge, wrongful termination, whistleblowers, retaliation, employment contracts, severance agreements, non-compete agreements, family and medical leaves, wage and hour violations, and other employment law and civil rights claims.
