labor and employment litigation and counseling. We defend class and collective actions; defend and prosecute claims of unfair competition and misappropriation of trade secrets; assist clients in post-crisis multi-agency government investigations; and negotiate against as well as fight labor unions. We have been at the forefront of developing and enforcing employment arbitration agreements and class-action waivers in some of the most challenging jurisdictions. </p> <p>Our team includes trial lawyers who handle some of the most complex and sensitive matters for our clients. We litigate across the country, and we value our reputation as effective and trusted advocates. We are able to leverage our extensive litigation experience to provide practical, preventative solutions to our clients, from solving specific problems to developing comprehensive compliance programs. We regularly bring to bear the strength and expertise of Alston & Bird lawyers in other practice areas when a matter involves complex legal issues that require an interdisciplinary solution, including some of the nation’s legal thought leaders in the fields of intellectual property, criminal defense, securities, environmental law, data privacy and legislative advocacy. </p></p> </div> <div class="expandcollapse readmore"> <ul class=""> <li class="firstrow collapsed"> <div class="content" id="serviceOverviewViewAllContent"> <p><strong>Experience</strong></p> <p> <table style="WIDTH: 600px"> <thead></thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>ADA programs <br>Affirmative action plans and OFCCP reporting <br>Class, mass and collective action litigation <br>Compliance audits <br>Corporate internal investigations <br>Disabled access and accommodations <br>Discrimination, harassment and other employment litigation <br>Drug testing/background checks/pre-employment testing <br>EEOC proceedings <br>Employment agreements <br>Employment arbitrations <br>FINRA disputes <br>FMLA and other leave issues <br>Handbook drafting and revision <br>Immigration and related government investigations <br>Independent contractor/employee classification issues <br>Labor negotiations, grievances and arbitrations </td> <td> <p>NLRB proceedings <br>Noncompetition and other restrictive covenants <br>OSHA, MSHA and other occupational safety issues <br>Privacy in the workplace <br>Record retention policies <br>Reductions in force <br>Retaliation actions <br>Sarbanes-Oxley <br>Trade secret protection and misappropriation <br>Traditional labor matters <br>Union campaigns and union avoidance <br>USERRA <br>Wage and hour counseling and litigation, including class and collective action <br>WARN Act (and Cal-WARN) <br>Wellness programs <br>Whistleblower claims</p> <p> </p> <p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table></p> <p><strong>Accolades</strong></p> <p>Alston & Bird’s Labor & Employment Group has been recognized as a leader in the field by <em>Chambers USA</em> and boasts numerous partners recognized on an individual basis by <em>Chambers USA, Best Lawyers in America</em> and other leading authorities. Recognition of our Labor & Employment Group by general counsel and other consumers of legal services helped propel the firm to "Power Elite" status, according to BTI Consulting.</p> <p><strong>Bringing Value to Our Clients</strong></p> <p>Our attorneys do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to labor and employment issues. Rather, we learn, both at the outset of the relationship and in the context of a particular matter, what our clients’ objectives are and to model our strategy to accomplish those objectives in the most effective and efficient manner possible. Whether working to defeat certification in a class action lawsuit or counseling a human resources professional on how to manage a problem employee, our ultimate goals are the same: understand our clients’ business and their problems, make those problems our own, and then solve them. In doing so, we recognize that cost is almost always part of the equation, and we routinely work with our clients to incorporate legal project management systems to plan and moderate exposure to expense, and allow more control and understanding of how and when fees are incurred. </p> </div> <div class="name"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="viewall" id="serviceOverviewViewAll"><span class="expandAll">+ Read More</span><span class="collapseAll">- Show Less</span></a></div> </li> </ul> </div> <style> .relinfo {display:none;} </style> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#relInfoAccordionUL").relInfoExpander(); $("#expandCollapseAll").relInfoExpandAll($("#relInfoAccordionUL")); $(".relinfo").show(); }); </script> <div class="relinfo active op_"> <div class="listing generallisting expandcollapse"> <div class="expandcollapse" id="expandCollapseAll"><span class="ExpandAll"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="expandAll">Expand All</a></span><span class="CollapseAll"><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="collapseAll">Collapse All</a></span></div> <div class="level1" id="relInfoAccordionUL"> <div class="accordionLi general firstrow collapsed"> <div class="name relInfoAnchorName"><h3><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="relInfoAnchor">Experience Highlights</a></h3></div> <div class="content relInfoDiv relInforExp"> <ul> <li><em>Brooks et al. v.

United Parcel Service, Inc</em>.: Our attorneys recently represented UPS in what was widely reported to be the largest class action ever certified under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our representation began after the district court erroneously certified a class of 36,000 – 50,000 current and former UPS employees who claimed that UPS failed to accommodate their alleged disabilities. We settled the case on very favorable terms after the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court’s class certification order. <li><em>U.S. Secretary of Labor v. Imperial Sugar</em>: Following Imperial Sugar Company’s tragic explosion at its Port Wentworth, Georgia, sugar refinery in February 2008 (resulting in 14 fatalities), our attorneys represented Imperial through lengthy investigations by ATF, OSHA and U.S. Chemical Safety Board. We were proud to help the client reach a favorable and collaborative agreement with OSHA.   <li><em>Nichols, et al. v. SMART Document Solutions LLC (n/k/a/ HealthPort Technologies, LLC</em>): We defended the company against a putative wage and hour class action brought under California law on behalf of current and former employees alleging, among other things, failure to pay wages and overtime pay and failure to provide the required meal periods and rest breaks. The plaintiffs estimated approximately $30 million in damages in their preliminary filings. The case was originally filed in the Superior Court of California, and removed to the Central District of California. The company settled with the class on a favorable basis. </li></ul> <div class="viewall"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150315093221/http://www.alston.com/services/litigation/labor-employment/?section=experience">View All</a></div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> <div class="accordionLi general collapsed"> <div class="name relInfoAnchorName"><h3><a href="javascript:void(0);" class="relInfoAnchor">News</a></h3></div> <div class="content relInfoDiv relInforNews"> <ul class="accordionlist"> <li> <div class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150315093221/http://www.alston.com/news/alston-and-bird-client-commscope-to-acquire-te-connectivity/">CommScope To Acquire TE Connectivity’s Networking Business for $3 Billion</a> </div> <div class="abstract">Alston & Bird client CommScope Inc., a global leader in network infrastructure solutions, has agreed to acquire Switzerland-based TE Connectivity’s Telecom, Enterprise and Wireless businesses in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3 billion.</div> <div class="date"> February 1, 2015 </div> <div class="type">Press Release</div> </li> <li> <div class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150315093221/http://www.alston.com/news/brett-coburn-smoke-free-policies-atlanta-business/"><i>Atlanta Business Chronicle</i> Quotes Brett Coburn on Smoke-Free Policies</a> </div> <div class="abstract">Commenting on the challenges facing employers that adopt smoke-free zones, Brett Coburn, partner in the firm’s Labor & Employment Group, noted that while smoke-free workplaces aren’t new, there are complex issues surrounding them.</div> <div class="date"> January 30, 2015 </div> <div class="type">In the News</div> </li> <li> <div class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150315093221/http://www.alston.com/news/brett-coburn-fortune-2015/">Brett Coburn Cited in <i>Fortune</i></a> </div> <div class="abstract">In “Didn’t Make It to Work Because of the Blizzard?
