About John
Biography
I am a labor and employment lawyer and litigator with over 25 years of experience. I handle all aspects of the litigation process including trials and appeals and practice regularly in state and federal court. My litigation practice focuses on the representation of clients in employment, real estate and business disputes.
Employment and Labor: 40%
I counsel clients with respect to the employment law issues they regularly face including wage and discrimination policies, terminations, employment agreements containing covenants not to compete, severance agreements, and pregnancy and disability accommodations. In addition, I represent clients in wage and hour and discrimination lawsuits including collective and class actions.
Real Estate: 30%
I represent condominium and co-op boards, co-op and condo owners, commercial landlords, commercial tenants, real estate investors, real estate developers and contractors in federal and state court actions. In addition, I represent commercial landlords and tenants with respect to lease transactions.
Business: 30%
I represent individual and businesses of all sizes including Fortune Global 2000, Fortune 500, middle market and small companies in business disputes in federal and state court. I have represented clients in a wide variety of industries including securities, wine and spirits, staffing, housing materials, insurance, entertainment and banking.

John J Malley
I highly recommend John Malley. He professionally addressed all of my concerns & patiently explained everything in detail so I was able to understand all the legalese. He kept me informed throughout the process until everything was taken care of. I’m referring him to all of my friends & family.
John Joseph Malley's Lawyer Endorsements
".I first met Jack a little over 10 years ago. At the time, we were adversaries on a highly contested and complex real estate litigation matter. Over the course of the litigation, Jack and I developed a mutual respect for each other that has since turned into one of my most valued friendships. His ability to remain professional while at the same time zealously advocating for his client is one of the many characteristics that makes him a credit to our profession. That is second only to his knowledge of the law and a trait that only enhances his skills as a litigator and negotiator."
"Mr. Malley is extremely knowledgeable regarding employment, labor and general litigation matters. He is also very focused on his clients and getting the best results. He is practical but aggressive when it makes sense. His combination of legal knowledge and caring about his clients has few equals."
