Benjamin Isaac Westerman

I am an associate attorney in Tully Rinckey PLLC’s Albany office, where I focus my practice on employment law. I work with clients on various labor and employment matters, including EEO/discrimination claims, wage/hour law, accommodations, and compliance requirements.

My diligence and passion for labor and employment law started while working at a summer camp in New Hampshire. It was there that I learned how to balance employee needs with workplace demands. Additionally, I learned the importance of clear communication, customer-minded service, and preparedness. One of my favorite parts about being a labor and employment law attorney is the continuing opportunity to hone and develop my legal skills. I firmly believes that the practice of law requires us to find ways to better ourselves, even if we think we are perfect.

I a transplant to the area, originally hailing from Massachusetts. I quickly became attached to the Albany area while earning my undergraduate degree at UAlbany. My fondness for Albany stems mainly from the volunteer fire department I joined in 2015. I now serves as the department’s Captain/training officer. A graduate of Albany Law School, I took classes related to client counseling and advocacy, conducting legal research, and administrative law matters.
