About Melissa Pesce
My practice is focused on Employment Law and Litigation and I am recognized by Best Lawyers for being one of the top Employment Law (Management) attorneys in the country. I have more than twenty years of litigation experience in federal and state courts including both jury and bench trials and appeals. I represent and counsel employers on a wide range of employment issues including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, leaves of absence, wage and hour, executive compensation, trade secrets, handbook and policy administration, and compliance with various federal, state, and local employment laws including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA), the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), state/local paid leave laws, and state/local unpaid leave mandates. I am a committed advocate for employers and work diligently to provide advice and counsel related to best practices in the workplace, to assist employers in mitigating common workplace issues, and to zealously represent clients in employment-related disputes.
