Labor Union Representation

The Southern California law firm of Levy, Stern, Ford & Wallach (LSFW) represents labor unions before virtually every administrative agency which regulates labor-management relations, in a variety of transactional matters, in counseling and training, and in litigation, arbitration, mediation, or negotiations.  LSFW places a premium on understanding each client's individual priorities and keeping these priorities in mind when developing advice and litigation strategies. As many cases involve crossover issues, such as workers compensation, collective bargaining agreement rights, and wrongful termination claims, LSFW's attorneys regularly involve the experience of our various legal departments. Through this client-focused approach, we are able to provide clients with competent legal services that take into consideration the real world complexities of today's workplace. 

Union-Management Relations

LSFW regularly assists its union clients and union management with union elections, contract negotiations, contract interpretation, contract enforcement, arbitration proceedings, and appearances before both state and federal labor boards, including the National Labor Relations Board and the Public Employees Relations Board. We regularly represent clients in their dealings with employers such as The Walt Disney Company, 3M, The Boeing Company, Fox Studios, MGM Grand Hotel, the State of California, and the City of Los Angeles.

Administrative Agency Practice

LSFW has extensive experience representing both unions and individual clients before the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor, the Department of Labor Standards and Enforcement, the Public Employee Relations Board, the State Personnel Board, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, and other labor and employment related agencies.

Client Counseling & Training

LSFW prides itself on keeping clients up-to-date on the status of the ever-changing field of labor and employment law so that they can better protect their rights and the rights of their coworkers. With individual counseling and group training, LSFW is able to provide thoughtful and insightful answers to the everyday problems employees face in their workplace.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

LSFW recognizes that disputes can be resolved by various means and that litigation may not always be the best answer for every client. Taking the client's needs into account, each attorney works closely with each client to determine whether a matter could be better resolved through private negotiations, mediation, arbitration, or through a combination of alternatives.
