David Charles Kurtz

David represents unionized and non-unionized employers ranging from Fortune 500 companies to high-tech start ups in every imaginable labor and employment related scenario. In addition to utilizing his deep knowledge of the law, David aims to provide each client with individualized service. In resolving disputes and providing advice, David always considers the unique culture and business of his clients.   David focuses his practice on resolving employment disputes through litigation, arbitration, and mediation. He also counsels clients regarding matters including hiring and firing decisions, severance agreements, employment agreements, employment policies, employee discipline, wage and hour laws, and compliance with state and local statutes, regulations, and case law. Recognizing the needs of both the past and present employer in such situations, David has developed extensive experience representing clients in connection with confidentiality agreements, covenants-not-to-compete, non-solicitation agreements and the misappropriation of trade secrets. David also has an active “traditional” labor law practice. He represents employers in all facets of the management-union relationship, including negotiations and collective bargaining, elections, arbitrations, and unfair labor practice charges.  David has also advised numerous clients regarding labor and employment issues arising in transactional matters, such as mergers, acquisitions and sales of businesses/business units.
