About Patricia
Biography
Patricia Barasch is a founding partner and has helped to build Schall & Barasch into one of the preeminent plaintiffs’ employment-rights law firms in the State. Throughout her nearly 20-year career, she has represented employees in cases involving all types of unfair and illegal employment practices including claims involving race, sex, age, and disability discrimination, reasonable accommodation, the Family Medical Leave Act, wrongful termination, breach of contract, retaliation and non-compete agreements.
Ms. Barasch has won a number of trial victories against some of the largest corporations in the State of New Jersey, including PSEG, Raytheon and Harrah’s Casino Hotel. Along with partner Richard Schall, she served as the attorney for the plaintiff in the landmark case Maw v. Advanced Clinical Communications, Inc. (ultimately decided by the Supreme Court), challenging an employer’s right to fire an employee simply because she refused to sign an overbroad non-compete agreement. Along with partner Richard Schall, Ms. Barasch successfully brought the case of Seiden v. Marina Associates, the very first case in the State of New Jersey to clearly address the proper legal framework for analyzing reasonable accommodation/disability discrimination cases.
In 2006, South Jersey Magazine chose Ms. Barasch as one of the region’s top ten women business leaders. According to the magazine and women’s organizations which nominated her, Patricia “…personifies diligence, success, diversity of talent and philanthropic spirit that characterizes an outstanding business leader.

The perfect attorney for me...
In my case it was imperative that I find an attorney who would be strong against a formidable foe, which would be my former employer. I came across Patricia Barasch via referral from an amazingly well-respected labor attorney with whom I went to school, but is located in another state. Without hesi...

Excellent Employment Lawyer!
I found Patricia Barasch to be a thoughtful, results-oriented advocate. It goes without saying that she has an excellent understanding of the applicable law. Equally important, at the end of the retention, I felt I had received good value for the fees that I had incurred.

Severance negotiations
Ms. Barasch negotiated a beneficial severance package from a very hostile company COO. She was very professional and communicated her plans to me every step of the way. She inspired confidence in her abilities through a very collaborative process that removed the anxiety from a very contentious sit...

Academic issue
I was threatened by a Dean at Rutgers, who was attempting to censure me without pay. The case was like other similar ones, where faculty are accused of endangering students, rather than seeing the faculty role as expanding thinking. After nearly a year, I ended with a retirement plan orchestrated by ...

Terrific Lawyer
I met Patricia at a very low point in my professional career. I just quit a job I had loved due to crippling illness-illness that my employer blatantly ignored. She was compassionate first & foremost regarding my health, always asking how my treatment were going, was I getting healthier. She went int...
