Counsel

Rhode Island

Sean serves as Counsel in the Employment and Litigation practice groups, where he focuses on employment law compliance and employer-side litigation.  Sean counsels businesses on new and existing employment law compliance, handles all aspects of collective bargaining agreements, and represents employers who have been sued by their employees for discrimination and wage and hour claims.   Sean also provides trainings to employers on employee discipline, performance management, promotions and terminations, and union grievance procedures and best practices.
