Constangy Brooks Smith & Prophete LLP is a management-only labor and employment law firm that has counseled employers since 1946. With more than 130 attorneys across 14 states, the firm represents Fortune 500 corporations and smaller companies across the nation. Our attorneys understand what it's like to walk in clients' shoes—whether in the board room, the courtroom or the workplace. We communicate with our clients in plain English, not "legalese." Clients view us as strategic partners, not just legal technicians, and value our cost-effective approach to providing legal services.
Constangy attorneys understand the big picture. Our legal expertise encompasses all areas of the employment relationship, including union avoidance, employment litigation, benefits, wage and hour, health and safety and affirmative action.
We handle all aspects of labor and employment law:
  • Employment litigation prevention and defense, including complex class and collective actions.
  • Labor relations, including union avoidance and NLRB election campaigns, NLRB and appellate litigation, collective bargaining negotiations and arbitrations, strikes, injunctions, corporate organizing campaigns, reductions in force, advice regarding acquisition of organized companies, supervisory training and preventive maintenance.
  • Affirmative action and OFCCP, including plan development and defense of compliance reviews and "glass ceiling" audits.
  • Occupational safety and health, including advice, record keeping audits and training, assistance with OSHA inspections and defense of citations.
  • Wage and hour, including advice, audits and defense of FLSA collective actions.
  • Employee benefits, including review and design of benefits plans and defense of ERISA litigation.
  • Business immigration, including visas, labor certifications, other employment-based green cards, consular representation and citizenship.
  • Workers' compensation, including litigation defense at all administrative and court levels and preventive counseling to reduce exposure.
