I am a seasoned labor and employment attorney with a demonstrated record of success in the cost-effective resolution of labor and employment matters through excellent communication, negotiation and interpersonal skills and knowledge. I possess more than thirty years of responsible experience in all facets of public and private sector labor relations, employment law and human resource management. I am an arbitrator with the National Association of Securities Dealers and an employment and commercial arbitrator with the American Dispute Resolution Center, Inc. I am also a mediator with the CT Department of Education, responsible for mediating municipal administrator and teacher collective bargaining contracts. I am a Executive Committee member of the CT Bar Association's Labor and Employment Law Section and served as Chair of the section.
My only deficiency is golf: I have a passion for the game that is not returned. Maybe the new driver will help.

I endorse Attorney Busca. As evidenced by the number of questions Mickey has so generously answered ...assisting colleagues and fellow members of the Connecticut Employment Lawyers Association, it’s clear that he has a superior understanding of this field of law, and is exceptionally well thought of in the legal community.

I endorse Mickey Busca. Mickey has served with me on the CT Bar Association's Labor and Employment Law Section Executive Committee. Moreover, Mickey and I have been on opposite sides of employment matters in which Mickey represented his client dilligently and zealously, but always maintaining civility in order to get the best possible deal for his client. He is a knowledgeable employment lawyer.
