With an efficiency born of her time in-house, Jessica supports clients’ labor and employment needs.
Jessica divides her practice between employment litigation and preventative counsel on employment matters, primarily for clients in the manufacturing and technology spaces. Thanks to previous private practice experience in both the areas of labor and employment as well as employee benefits and ERISA, her broad practice today encompasses discrimination, retaliation, and harassment allegations; wage and hour compliance; employee handbooks and policies; employment-related agreements; administrative complaints; immigration law compliance; health and welfare benefit plans; qualified retirement plans; and employee benefits and employment matters in the context of corporate transactions. After an in-house role with an organization that had several unionized workforces, Jessica also advises clients on traditional labor relations and unionization campaigns.
Prior to joining the firm, Jessica served as senior labor and employment attorney for Menasha Corporation, where she managed global labor and employment, ERISA/employee benefits, and employment-based immigration legal matters for the company and its subsidiaries. Her experience at Menasha is vital to her approach today: Jessica understands firsthand how important fast, efficient answers are to clients who are running businesses, and she provides pragmatic, business-oriented advice on the client’s timetable.
Clients appreciate Jessica’s broad knowledge of labor and employment law, as well as her inside understanding of the business challenges they face. She has a strong reputation as a reasonable, practical, solutions-focused attorney who gets clients the answers they need, when they need them.
