Profile

Andy works with a diverse group of employers, including small family businesses, large public companies, governments, entrepreneurs, not-for-profit service organizations and renowned institutions of higher education to help them minimize their risk by achieving and maintaining legal compliance in all labor and employment concerns.

In his practice, Andy defends employers against claims of employment discrimination, workplace harassment and unlawful retaliation. He has defended employers in both federal and state court litigation as lead counsel, and in administrative proceedings before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the New York State Division of Human Rights (NYSDHR). Andy has conducted numerous internal investigations for employers on a variety of workplace issues for both private and public sector clients, and has performed customized in-house training on topics such as union avoidance, harassment avoidance, workplace diversity and “wage and hour” compliance.

Andy also focuses his practice on assisting employers with minimum wage, overtime and other compensation issues arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and New York Labor Law (NYLL) and with navigating the complex array of other wage and hour issues (e.g., accrual and payout of vacation time, employee wage deductions, employee meal breaks). Andy also regularly represents and counsels owners, contractors and subcontractors to ensure compliance on prevailing wage projects under the New York Labor Law (Article 8 and Article 9 project work) and under federal law (Davis Bacon project work). He has defended employers facing wage and hour claims in both administrative proceedings and court actions, and has represented clients facing governmental audits of their wage and hour practices.

As part of his traditional labor law practice, Andy counsels and represents employers in disputes arising from collective bargaining relationships - regularly serving as lead counsel in arbitration proceedings - and has defended unfair labor practice claims before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the New York Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). Andy also assists clients with labor contract negotiations. He additionally counsels employers on union avoidance strategies and has helped clients craft and implement effective strategies to counter union organizing campaigns and win NLRB elections.

Andy frequently speaks in front of groups on various labor and employment law matters across New York State and recently was a featured speaker at the national conference of a leading association in the higher education sector. He is also a former President of the Central New York Chapter of the Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA).

Prior to attending law school, Andy worked as a Congressional Aide to former U.S. Representative James T. Walsh (Syracuse, New York). Among his duties, he served as a liaison to individuals and businesses seeking assistance with matters before federal administrative agencies. In addition, Andy assisted with various federal legislative matters, including the federal appropriations process, and possesses a wealth of experience in the realm of congressional and intergovernmental affairs.
