David A. Kushner

David is a partner in the firm and Chair of the Labor and Employment Law section.  He advises and represents businesses and municipalities in all aspects of the employment relationship, including equal employment opportunity, civil rights litigation, trade secret protection and litigation, non-compete litigation, defamation litigation, employment policy consultation and drafting, drafting of employment agreements, and lawful documentation of the employment relationship.  

Although David is a seasoned litigator, he has a passion for advising clients on how to achieve their goals while avoiding litigation altogether.  As part of his litigation-avoidance practice, David spends much of his day on the telephone helping his clients (1) navigate difficult employee terminations, (2) investigate allegations of harassment, discrimination or retaliation, (3) respond to accommodation and FMLA requests in a manner that is lawful but limits business hardship, and (4) respond to the numerous other issues that arise regarding employment.
