Berger & Montague's Employment Law
Group protects employee rights across the United
States.
The Berger & Montague lawyers who comprise our Employment
Law Group work tirelessly to safeguard the rights of employees,
and devote all of their energies to helping our firm's
clients achieve their goals. Our attorneys' understanding of
federal and state wage and hour laws, federal and state civil
rights and discrimination laws, ERISA, the WARN Act, laws
protecting whistleblowers, such as federal and state False Claims
Acts, and other employment laws, allows us to develop creative
strategies to vindicate our clients' rights and help them secure
the compensation to which they are entitled. We also are at the
forefront in establishing class action remedies for employees based
on breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and other state common
law causes of action.
Berger & Montague's Employment Law Group is repeatedly
recognized for outstanding success in effectively representing its
clients. For example, Portfolio Media, which publishes Law
360, recognized Berger & Montague as one of the eight Top Employment
Plaintiffs' Firms in 2009.
More recently, U.S. Magistrate Judge Jonathan W. Feldman of the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York,
observed:

| Shanon Carson, Chair of the Employment Law
Group |
"The nature of the instant
application obliges the Court to make this point clear: In my
fifteen years on the bench, no case has been litigated with more
skill, tenacity and legal professionalism than this case. The
clients, corporate and individual, should be proud of the manner in
which their legal interests were brought before and presented to
the Court by their lawyers and law firms."
and
"…the Court would be remiss if it
did not commend class counsel and all those who worked for firms
representing the thousands of current and former employees of Kodak
for the outstanding job they did in representing the interests of
their clients. For the last several years, lead counsel
responsibilities were shared by Shanon Carson .... Their legal work in an
extraordinarily complex case was exemplary, their tireless
commitment to seeking justice for their clients was unparalleled
and their conduct as officers of the court was beyond reproach."
