Traditional Labor Relations

Effective management requires effective legal advice.


We'll keep your workplace working.

Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney handles every aspect of labor relations in both the public and private sectors. We've helped our clients through countless contract negotiations, arbitration hearings, union organizing drives, and NLRB hearings. We’ve also trained employers and supervisors to help them stay union-free and manage their workforce when collective bargaining becomes a reality.

Our traditional labor practice includes ERISA experience.

Our traditional labor law practice includes lawyers who regularly work with ERISA and benefits issues that arise with an organized workforce. We’ve counsel clients regarding the myriad of issues that arise with multiemployer trust funds, shutdowns and spiraling medical costs.

We have the experience you need.
