Nicholas William Kennedy

I built my practice to help employees navigate serious workplace issues with clarity and confidence. I represent professionals in Pittsburgh and across Western Pennsylvania in complex employment matters, providing strategic guidance, careful negotiation, and strong advocacy.

Every situation is different. Some clients need discreet advice before raising concerns internally. Others need help negotiating a severance package or resolving a dispute through mediation. And when an employer fails to act responsibly, I am ready to pursue formal legal action, including taking a case through trial.

Workplace conflicts are rarely just potential legal problems; they affect reputations, careers, and families. I work with each client to evaluate risk, identify leverage, and pursue a resolution that protects their long-term professional and personal interests.

My practice includes matters involving sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage and hour violations, whistleblower claims, and employment contract disputes. While each case presents its own challenges, all require careful analysis, sound judgment, and a strategy tailored to the individual client.

Additionally, I am a trained mediator and serve as an approved neutral for the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania’s ADR program. I also provide pro bono mediation services for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. I approach mediation with a focus on thorough preparation, realistic risk assessment, and practical solutions.
